Letters from Prison

Are you surprised at this postmark from Birmingham?

Paroled in Texas railroaded in Alabam

Are you still wearing them rings that I gave to you?

So many promises never could see 'em through

Letters from prison keep wishing her well

And it's nothing compared to his personal hell

And one day he'll be free but until then she'll be

Reading letters from prison with love from a cell

Says he'd like autograph photos of country stars

Something to look at aside from these prison bars

Got so much time to think that he's done some thinking

He says he's not guilty but that he'd been drinking

Letters from prison keep wishing her well

And it's nothing compared to his personal hell

And one day he'll be free but until then she'll be

Reading letters from prison with love from a cell

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like with you

I hate to admit it but sometimes I wonder too

Could've gone straight could've gone into politics

Don't you know baby that our love was just for kicks

Letters from prison keep wishing her well

And it's nothing compared to his personal hell

And one day he'll be free but until then she'll be

Reading letters from prison with love from a cell
