Well I was 21 in the slammer cuz I like cars that ain't mine
                                                 B7
Then I was on the run with a hammer-fired gun smuggled to me by my wife
  Em
Before I could break stride they caught me with their light, they told me to raise my arms
 
 Em                         Am                     Em
Before the daylight by no surprise, I'm back in Eastham Prison Farm
Mmmhmm

Well I had to kill a man, he wouldn't leave me alone so I crushed his skull with a pipe
                                              B7
I put the blood on my buddy's hands he was already booked in for life
              Em
In order to make light of the labor inside, I had to cause myself some harm
           Am                    B7                       Em
I took a knife to my toes and I said my goodbyes to the Eastham Prison Farm
Ahhah

Once I left I never was again the same
                                    B7
When you're on the inside you do whatever it takes
 Em
You turn from a schoolboy to a rattlesnake
 
That no good tune could charm

 Em
On our way to the Parish on the 23rd of May, emptied 130 rounds in our car
