Prison Blues Lyrics - Kenny Wayne Shepherd

Every morning by da break of day 

Pick and shovel in my hand 

Prove to the worlds I's a natural man 

Don't not to hurt me but my back and spine 

Don't have to worry 'bout my wife and chil' 

Six months on the road you know is ain't no time 

I got 1 to 99 

Workin' on the road you know is mighty sad 

Why I had to be so doggone bad? 

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey 

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey 

would go home but ain't no news 

Jail house man won't let me go 

If they ever let me go, 

I won't be a bad boy no more 

Six months on the road you know ain't no time 

I doin 1 to 99 

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey 

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey 

Have to work from sun to sun 

When will I ever make it back home? 

Workin on the road you know is mighty sad 

Why'd Big Daddy have to be so bad? 

If they ever let me go, 

Big Daddy won't be a bad boy no more 

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey 

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey 

Have to work from sun, sun to sun 

When will I ever make it back home? 

When will I ever make it back home?
