Huntsville Lyrics - Someday We'll Look Back - Merle Haggard

That old white haired judge in Dallas 

Didn't pay my story no mind 

They're takin' me down to Huntsville 

I'm bringin' in a load of time 

They caught me on a caper that I planned for days 

And proved everything I done 

I'm on my way to Huntsville 

But I'm looking for a chance to run 

My hands don't fit no choppin' pile 

And cotton was never my beg 

They better keep both eyes on me 

Or they're gonna lose old Hag 

Hey there ain't so far to Mexico 

There I can find my way 

They're takin' me down to Huntsville 

But I'm not gonna stay 

They got me chain and leg irons 

I guess they got a good excuse 

They know I'm gonna run the first chance 

I get cause they never gonna cut me loose 

And I don't care if they shoot me down 

I'll never be free again 

I've got two long life turns to do 

Both runnin' in the end 

Hey there ain't so far to Mexico 

There I can find my way 

They're takin' me down to Huntsville 

But I'm not gonna stay
