One Window, Four Walls lyrics

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

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

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

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

The jury that tried me would give me no mercy

They said I was guilty, that I had to pay

Behind prison walls and with no hope of freedom

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

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
