Alabama Department of Corrections Meditation Blues Songtext

Alabama Department of Corrections Meditation Blues Songtext
I killed a man to get in here
And here I ll be for life
Hardest of the hardest men
Step aside when I walk by
I was born an angry man
This is all I know
I gave up on the human kind
A long, long time ago
Then one day a man came round
Put us to the test
Like Jesus in the wilderness
I thought that man was crazy
Two days on and on
Three days in the walls came down
And all my pain was gone
A long time I was dying
Blind but now I see
Locked up here for all my days
I am finally free
Alabama here we rest
Live in light and peacefulness
And here I ll be for life
Hardest of the hardest men
Step aside when I walk by
I was born an angry man
This is all I know
I gave up on the human kind
A long, long time ago
Then one day a man came round
Put us to the test
Like Jesus in the wilderness
I thought that man was crazy
Two days on and on
Three days in the walls came down
And all my pain was gone
A long time I was dying
Blind but now I see
Locked up here for all my days
I am finally free
Alabama here we rest
Live in light and peacefulness
