Louisiana Prison Bound Lyrics
Oh Lord, from the day I was born
From my Mother’s arms I was torn
I knew I was prison bound
I knew I was prison bound
Prison bound

It was just a matter of time
I was destined to walk the line
In that dark place in this Louisiana town

Prison bound, prison bound, prison bound
Oh Lord I’m prison bound
Prison bound, prison bound, prison bound
It’s the darkest place around
Oh Lord I’m prison bound
Prison bound , prison bound
It’s the darkest place around

Oh Lord, I tried to do what’s right
I tried to follow the light
But got lost along The Way
But got lost along The Way
Lost along The Way

Some say it’s really not fair
But now I really don’t care
What anyone has to say

I could never abide by the rules
Made by crooks for fools
To follow in a cold sweat
In a cold sweat

Soon I’ll be in chains
No-one will know my pain
Or hear my broken song of regret
My broken song of regret

Prison bound, prison bound, prison bound
Oh Lord I’m prison bound
Prison bound, prison bound, prison bound
I’ll be lost and won’t be found

The train’s coming down the tracks
I’ll be gone and won’t look back
Must take it on the chin

If I don’t see you again
Remember me when
The bells chime in the wind

I’m sorry for all that I’ve done
The battle could not be won
Oh Father forgive me my sins
Oh Father forgive me my sins

I’m prison bound
