99 Years For One Dark Day

I've been in this prison twenty years or more

I shot my woman with a 44

I'll be right here till my dyin' day

I got 99 years for one dark day

Well the food is bad and the beds are hard

I spend all day breakin' rocks in the yard

Well there ain't no change, gonna stay that way

I got 99 years for one dark day

Ain't no singer that can sing a song

Ain't no one saying that I ain't wrong

His mind's made up, gonna stay that way

I got 99 years for one dark day

I never learned to read, I never learned to write

My whole life's been one big fight

I never heard about the righteous way

I got 99 years for one dark day

I remember a time many years ago

I shot my woman with a 44

I'll be right here till my dyin' day

I got 99 years for one dark day

I got 99 years for one dark day
