[Intro 1]
[E][E][B][E]
[E][E]

[Verse 1]
Well them [E]four walls of Raiford,
closing in on me
Doin' [B]three to five hard labor,
for [A]armed robbe[E]ry
I had two years behind me,
but I could not wait the time
Every[B]time I thought about it,
well I [A]died some more in[E]side
[E][E]

[Verse 2]
And I had [E]stripes on my back,
memories that hurt
For the [B]only time I seen sunshine
is [A]when I hit the [E]dirt
Diggin' ditches for the chain gang,
sleepin' in the cold
Oh [B]Lord please forgive me
for I [A]could not wait no [E]more
[E][E]

[Chorus 1]
And I'm comin' [A]home to see you Jesus
Well it [E]feels so close this time
Please take [B]mercy on this soldier
From the [A]Florida-Georgia [E]line
When they [A]find me they must kill me
Oh [E]Jesus save my soul
I can't [B]go back down to Raiford
I can't [A]take that any[E]more

[Verse 3]
These [E]last few years behind me
Oh Lord, have been so sad
I fought [B]proudly for my country
[A]when the times were [E]bad
Now they say I'm guilty,
when they find me I must die
Only [B]me and Jesus know
that I [A]never stole a [E]dime
[E][E]

[Verse 4]
Well, when [E]Vietnam was over
there was no work here for me
I had a [B]pretty wife awaitin
and two [A]kids I had to [E]feed
Well I'm one of America's heroes
and when they shoot me down
Won't you [B]fly old Glory proudly,
put my [A]medals in the [E]ground
[E][E][E]

[Outro 1]
And I'm comin' [A]home to see you Jesus
Well it [E]feels so close this time
Please take [B]mercy on this soldier
From the [A]Florida-Georgia [E]line
When they [A]find me they must kill me
Oh [E]Jesus save my soul
I can't [B]go back down to Raiford
I can't [A]take that any[E]more
[E][E][E]
