Walk On The Outside Lyrics - Merle Haggard

I've been in here so long I forgot what I did wrong 

Just a kid when they put me here inside 

I don't have long to live and Lord, what I would give 

Just to walk on the outside 

Phones weren't even in, when they put me in this pin 

And dad told me, he, he, planes would never fly 

There's a lot I've never seen except here on this scene 

Lord, give me a walk on the outside 

Now Lord I'm not complainin' but I've walked 

At least a million miles behind these walls 

I'd just like to see what's on this other side, that's all 

There's a lot I've never seen except here on this scene 

Lord, give me a walk on the outside 

There's a lot I've never seen except here on this scene 

Lord, give me a walk on the outside
