I've been here nearly 20 years, I'm only 39 In Louisiana Life means life so I'll be here 'til I die I'm not asking for sympathy, just a bit of time So maybe you'll remember me and I won't disappear from mind I killed a man, I was high on meth, he was my friend I don't know how it happened but I can't be forgiven for that sin Nothing I can do to make it right, no way to make amends I don't deserve to live, every day I die inside again I'm tired of living but I'm afraid to die The hell here may be better than what's on the other side I'm so tired of living, in this place days drag by But Life means life in this prison, I'll be here 'til I die Heat and humidity weigh me down, crush me like my fate Have to move real slow to make it through each day I get 2 cents an hour to push a grass mower by hand At night I share a dorm with 63 men, one ceiling fan Sometimes I stay awake all night, haunted by the man I killed Stench from toilets feet from my bed hang heavy, makes me ill I tape a thick book to my chest to protect me from a shiv I know Life means life but boy, this ain't no way to live I'm tired of living but I'm afraid to die The hell here may be better than what's on the other side I'm so tired of living, in this place days drag by But Life means life in this prison, I'll be here 'til I die Mama used to visit and call but it was so damn hard An all-day trip from New Orleans, more than three bucks for a short call She tried hard to hide it but it's clear I broke her heart As if I took a mower blade, cut her down like grass in Main Yard I'll still be here when I die, like others with no family I've mowed grass where they'll bury me, a field under a big oak tree There men in cardboard coffins keep eternal company Their bodies fertilize the ground, grass grows up thick and green I'm tired of living but I'm afraid to die The hell here may be better than what's on the other side I'm so tired of living, in this place days drag by But Life means life in this prison, I'll be here 'til I die
