The Red Clay Strays - Doin' Time Lyrics

The Red Clay Strays Lyrics

"Doin' Time"

Judge asked me, "How do you plead?"
"Guilty your honor, have mercy on me"
Threw me inside the penitentiary
Charged me on a count of armed robbery

Punishment fit the crime
I'll be here for a while just doin' time

Well I ain't lookin' forward to the light of day
Put me in the middle of a rowdy chain gang
Blooded hands just swingin' away
Breakin' up dirt in that Texas clay

Punishment fit the crime
I'll be here for a while just doin' time

Well, two years have come and two years have gone
Swear two years never felt so long
Hopin' and a-prayin' for a shot at parole
Bein' here been drainin' my soul

Punishment fit the crime
I'll be here for a while just doin' time

Punishment fit the crime
I'll be here for a while
