Huntsville

Lyrics

[Verse] That old white-haired judge in Dallas Didn't pay my story no mind They're taking me down to Huntsville I'm bringing in a load of time [Verse] They caught me on a caper that I planned for days And proved everything I've done I'm on my way to Huntsville But I'm looking for a chance to run [Verse] My hands don't fit no chopping pole And cotton never was my bag The man better keep both eyes on me Or they're going to lose old Hag [Chorus] It ain't so far to Mexico That I can't find my way They're taking me down to Huntsville But I'm not gonna stay [Verse] They got me chained in leg irons I guess they got a good excuse They know I'm gonna run the first chance I get 'Cause they're never gonna cut me loose [Verse] And I really don't care if they shoot me down I'll never be free again I've got two long life turns to do Both running and don't end [Chorus] It ain't so far to Mexico That I can't find my way They're taking me down to Huntsville But I'm not gonna stay
