One Window, Four Walls

I once had my freedom and my life before me
Was brighter and sweeter than all words could tell
But I lost it all for the love of a woman
Now I'll spend my life in this cold prison cell

Chorus:

One window, four walls, and a door that won't open
That's the only world that I'll ever see
One window, four walls, and a door that won't open
The warden takes care of the key
[ steel ]

The first time I saw her my friends tried to warn me
But I let her fool me with lips soft and sweet
When I found her there in the arms of another
Just one single shot left her dead at my feet

Chorus…

The jury that tried me would give me no mercy
They said I was guilty; that I have to pay
Behind prison walls and with no hope of freedom
There's nothing to live for; there's no need to pray

Chorus…
