My Hands Are Tied Songtext
von Merle Haggard and The Strangers

She came here to see me today
In prison, where I have to stay
But this time she came here to tell me goodbye

Pretending that I understood
I held back the tears best I could
But I know that she knew I wanted to cry


′Cause my hands are tied
I'm locked here inside
I want her, I need her, I love her
But my hands are tied

Her visits kept my world alive
Our love found a way to survive
But now it′s all over, I've lost her for good

She waited with arms open wide
'Til somebody else stepped inside
But I know she waited as long as she could


′Cause my hands are tied
I′m locked here inside
I want her, I need her, I love her
But my hands are tied
