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
