Original song written in 1990
-------
The prisoner´s song echoing down, down, down
the long, long block of doors
Cries out his pain and begs for mercy
4 all the things he have done...

He´s calling out 4 The Governor
2 pardon on his sentence
-but his cries dies out - and hits the wall
in the long, long corridor...
--------
Darren McGrable serves some 99 years
4 murder first degree...
He stabbed a guard and killed him deadly
now he soon will sure be free...
That chair is waitin´somewhere on the line
-tomorrow - or maybe the next...

Darren McGrable sweating with fear -
get´s no sleep tonight
- in his cell...
---------
/The Prisoner´s Song/

Those who´s serving time
in Georgia State Penitentiary
they all have earned their crimes of punishment
- they don´t deserve to be free...
But still they swear of their innocence,
says it all is a big, big mistake

Some says the color of their skin
is the reason for their stay...
----------
/- The Prisoner´s Song/

/HEY - my man - let me GO! Let me OUT!
Hey now brother, save my soul
I want OUT!
Come on mister - let me run
runnin´FREE
- wanna´see the Sky!
- HEY - set me FREE!
