15 Years Lyrics - Little Neon Limelight - Houndmouth

15 Years on the county line 

Enough to make a man nearly lose his mind 

Down in Arlington, Virginia where the law make us stay 

Ball and chain never felt so real 

Walls of stone fifty bars of steel 

When the warden gives me pardon darlin' I'll be coming home your way 

And I wish you could have seen it when the good Lord spun me round 

I should have known better than to think they could keep a good man down 

So please don't you worry 

Please don't you ever come see me 

Leaving out of Texas for that eastern sunrise 

Well now, I was in a bad way Lord but not to my surprise 

Judge in a cornfield tryin' a man 

They said let him hang in the white desert sand 

When the warden gives me pardon darlin' I'll be coming home your way 

And I wish you could have seen it when the good Lord spun me round 

I should have known better than to think they could keep a good man down 

So please don't you worry 

Please don't you ever come see me 

15 Years on the county line 

Enough to make a man nearly lose his mind 

Down in Arlington, Virginia where the law make us stay 

Ball and chain never felt so real 

Walls of stone fifty bars of steel 

When the warden gives me pardon darlin' I'll be coming home your way 

And I wish you could have seen it when the good Lord spun me round 

I should have known better than to think they could keep a good man down 

So please don't you worry 

Please don't you ever come see me
