Six by Nine
It's been seventeen months since I got here today. But it feels like forever do you feel the same way. Oh ma , it's so bad, I hurt so deep inside. The pain in my heart, so bad I could die.
Well I heard bout your cancer, how it came back last June wish I see you, and take care of you too But the guards and the bars , they just won't let me free I have to pray for your health , like you pray for me
And I said Mama please don't cry, Since they've sentenced me to die. You know, it feels like hell When I touch both the walls of my six my nine cell.
Well Susie stopped written me seven months back Heard she was sober and quit smoking crack She got tired of waitin on appeals and parole And got her a job at the grocery store
Well she used to send letters of perfume and remorse Now her lawyer sends papers for a jailhouse divorce But I still keep her picture one the cinder block wall It keeps me from crying and loosing it all And please tell Susie dear goodbye Since they sentenced me to die You know I wish her well Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com When I touch both the walls in my six by nine cell
Well the pills from the doctor, they don't do a thing And the phone from the governor still doesn't ring Well you know that I'm sorry for the things I've done wrong Now it's heaven or hell, to one I'll belong
And they'll strap me down tight to the table with care And they'll shove in the needle where they shaved off my hair And they'll wait till the clock shows twelve o'clock and one And they'll throw all the switches that get the job done.
And I say mother please don't cry I've been sentenced and have died I'm free so, for now farewell Cause I won't be caged up in a six by nine cell Till you come or to greet me, In heaven I'll dwell When I spread out my wings and fly from this hell
