I'm locked behind steel ribbons in a building made of stone
|
This prison cell will be my home for life
|
Forgotten men surround me and curse cause they were born
|
Lord what I'd give to hear a baby cry
|
If I could hear a baby cry just one more time
|
I could fight the future locked inside
|
Some prisoners call for mama and others pray to die
|
Lord what I'd give to hear a baby cry
|
[ fiddle ]
|
They tell me I was drinkin' at that awful time when baby started cryin' in the night
|
They say I picked up baby and squeezed him much too tight
|
What I'd give now to hear a baby cry
|
If I could hear a baby...
|
What I'd give now to hear a baby cry
|
