A Song by Katie "Shorty" Graham
Then they came and took me away
Said I'd never see light again
Giving me my rights at bay
Didn't let me pack a thing
Said I'd be supplied with everything
And anything I said would be repeated to
my best and worst interests
Chorus 1
Heard I'm doin' life today
Locked up I n this facility
Most these girls I see 'round
Are locked even with their pregnancies
They musta thought I killed some holy man
GOD wasn't here to prove my solid ground
Couldn't even get my mami to believe my innocence
What is it if I go away
What is it if we make our day
At living it in some awesome place
Away from all the torture of this prison base
Chorus 2
So I'm doin life, ok
I'm livin it everyday
Found no one believes my story
Maybe I should just escape
Couldn't do much harm to say
"GOD wasn't there for me, but he's
gonna keep me trouble free, as long
as I can make this final spree"
(kind of slow-diff. Way of singing)
I'm on my way
To breaking free
Might get caught
But I'm willing to take the chance
Can't quite see the path I need to follow
Been digging holes and got myself to deep
Trying to make all this better
It's not gonna happen if they sick on me (dogs-light voice)
Chorus 2
Guess I made my final spree
Guess I got out free
Guess no one sought me out
Until it was too late
Cause I'm here on this island
A beautiful palace is lying at my feet
The waves beat upon my legs
Does this mean my destiny
End Chorus
I was supposed to do life, ok
But why am I feeling so strange
It musta been all a nightmare, since I'm not locked up today
