C            F               C 
Oh momma I’m so thankful you came 

                                G7 
It’s late and I hate about this rain 

  F                         C                     F 
I know it’s hard on you but I don’t know what I’d do 

               C             G7             C 
If you weren’t here momma to walk me to the train 


             F            C 
21 miles  to Lake Charles Prison 

                                       G7 
A few more hours my life will cease to be 

            C                        F 
But I won’t mind that last mile I’ll walk it with a smile 

   C                              F          G7     C 
As long as your sweet face is the last thing that I see 


                      F                      C 
Oh how I wish I could turn back the pages of time 

                                       G7 
And rewrite those few minutes I went insane 

    F                      C                          F 
Yes I took her for my wife and was forced to take her life 

       C                 G7                  C 
Now in chains I ride the Lake Charles Prison train 


            F            C 
21 miles to Lake Charles Prison 

                         G7 
13 men wearing balls and chains 

    C                             F 
But I’m richer by far than all of them together are 

    C                 G7               C 
All because momma you walked me to the train
