Paragraph Lyric
Endlessly facing the cold concrete floor
Four cold grey walls, and no doors
I barely remember the last forty days
Or just what they’re holdin’ me for
So far away, they tell me:
Boy, you’re here to stay; win, lose or draw
Letters unanswered and visits so few
Cold desperation I know
I guess I’d give most anything
Oh lord, if they’d just let me go
I’m so far away
Day after lonely, lonely day
Win, lose or draw

Ma, she’s dead and gone
Pa just don’t seem to find the time
It makes me so sad that he’s forsaken me
When he’s all I had left I call mine
I’m so far away
Day after lonely, lonely day
Win, lose or draw.

There’s two men in one room for ten long years
Still strangers that talk away the time
’cause each time I think of your soft hand in mine
I lay here and die one more time
And I’m so far away
Day after lonely, lonely day
Win, lose or draw
Endlessly facing the cold concrete floor   Four cold grey walls, and no doors   I barely remember the last forty days   Or just what they’re holdin’ me for   So far away, they tell me:   Boy, you’re here to stay; win, lose or draw   Letters unanswered and visits so few   Cold desperation I know   I guess I’d give most anything   Oh lord, if they’d just let me go   I’m so far away   Day after lonely, lonely day   Win, lose or draw      Ma, she’s dead and gone   Pa just don’t seem to find the time   It makes me so sad that he’s forsaken me   When he’s all I had left I call mine   I’m so far away   Day after lonely, lonely day   Win, lose or draw.      There’s two men in one room for ten long years   Still strangers that talk away the time   ’cause each time I think of your soft hand in mine   I lay here and die one more time   And I’m so far away   Day after lonely, lonely day   Win, lose or draw
