They hold me here much longer probably go mad all by myself
Now, I really need somebody, said I really need somebody's help

Why does a man up in the judgement chair
Got his ass God's right arm in some double pair? Alright

Walking a frozen line a Western Winter be hail and rain
Way back in New York this morning...
There ain't no one there who ever gonna remember my name

Now when the sun comes up, Mama, you should know
That now I just don't care no more. Alright!

Three o'clock this morning when I thought I saw Jesus coming down
He came through the concrete, baby
He came through them walls without no sound

Now, I mean concrete walls that ain't no clay
I closed my eyes, watched him slip away. Alright!

They look at you sideways
They call no man by his Christian name, his natural born name
All you got is your backbone to lean on
You can't expect no help from your brain

Now when a man wants reason, he best be willing to pay
I'm down in Leavenworth Prison now, and I do not count no days
I said when a man wants reason, he best be willing to pay
I'm down in Leavenworth Prison now, and I do not count no days
