lyrics

Been in this prison twenty years or more
Shot my woman with a forty four
Be right here 'til my dying day
I got ninety nine years and one dark day

Well the food is bad and the beds are hard
We spend all day breaking rocks in the yard
Ain't gonna change, gonna stay that way
I got ninety nine years and one dark day

Ain't no singer who can sing a song
No one's saying I ain't done wrong
Nobody told me about the righteous way
I got ninety nine years and one dark day

Never learned to read, never learned to write
My whole life's been one big fight
Ain't gonna change, gonna stay that way
I got ninety nine years and one dark day

Been in this prison twenty years or more
Shot my woman with a forty four
Be right here 'til my dying day
I got ninety nine years and one dark day
I got ninety nine years and one dark day
