One Window Four Walls Lyrics - Marty Robbins

One Window, Four Walls 

I once had my freedom and my life before me 

Was brighter and sweeter than all words could tell 

But I lost it all for the love of a woman 

Now I'll spend my life in this cold prison cell 

Chorus: 

One window, four walls, and a door that won't open 

That's the only world that I'll ever see 

One window, four walls, and a door that won't open 

The warden takes care of the key 

[ steel ] 

The first time I saw her my friends tried to warn me 

But I let her fool me with lips soft and sweet 

When I found her there in the arms of another 

Just one single shot left her dead at my feet 

Chorus... 

The jury that tried me would give me no mercy 

They said I was guilty; that I have to pay 

Behind prison walls and with no hope of freedom 

There's nothing to live for; there's no need to pray 

Chorus...
