Doin’ My Time

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Marty Stuart] On this old rock pile With a ball and chain They call me by a number, not a name, Lord, Lord I've gotta do my time I've gotta do my time With an achin' heart And a worried mind [Verse 2: Marty Stuart] When that old judge Looked down and smiled Said, "I'll put you up that river for a while," Lord, Lord I've gotta do my time I've gotta do my time With an achin' heart And a worried mind [Verse 3: Johnny Cash] You can hear my hammer You can hear my song Gonna swing it like John Henry all day long, Lord, Lord I gotta do my time I gotta do my time With an achin' heart And a worried mind [Verse 4: Marty Stuart & Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash] Well, now it won't be long Just a few more days I'll settle down and quit my rowdy ways, Lord, Lord With that gal of mine Yeah, with that gal of mine She's waitin' for me While I've done my time
