Capo 2Served six years in Huntsville withNow his thoughts fall on stone floor withAnd aBy theHisBut heGuards close the big gate with the turn of a hingeWhile a lonely old widow sleeps with revengeCole sleeps with sunsets and bright midnight starsAnd the rhythm of night sticks tappin the barsChorusHe lives in his memories hes got a wife of two yearsHer black and white photo is stained with his tearsShe left him for Tulsa she Goddamned him to hellNow she stares at the mirror in a rat trap motelChorusHe blends with the inmates they all look the sameThey dont like his face cause they dont know his nameHes cursed by the warden hes calmed by the priestWhere he fights with his conscience for his sins to releaseDont you cry for me mama my days came and wentNow the chamber is empty and the last shells been spentLook in on my wife and give her your careAnd if I get to heaven I know ill see you thereChorus
