Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm sitting here lonely like a, a broken man
I serve my time doin' the best I can
Wall and bars, they surround me
But I don't want no sympathy
[Verse 2]
No, baby, no, baby
All I need is some tender lovin'
To keep me sane in this burnin' oven
And when my time is up, you'll be my reaper
[Verse 3]
Like it's worth on a God's green Earth
Be my reaper, gotta keep smokin' that thing
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Verse 4]
I said, "Now, baby" (Baby)
Let's back in it (Baby)
Na, na, feel good (Well, feel good)
It's to feel good (Oh, oh)
And I feel (Oh)
It's to feel (Oh)
And I feel (Oh)
Whoa, whoa, whoa
[Verse 5]
Ice cold water runnin' through my veins
They try and drag me back to work again
Pain and blisters on my mind and hands
I woke all day makin' up a burlap bags
[Verse 6]
The oats they're feedin' me are drivin' me wild
I feel unhappy like a newborn child
Now when my time is up, you wait and see
These walls and bars won't keep that stuff from me
[Verse 7]
No, no, baby
Won't keep that stuff from me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Verse 8]
I need you right now, mama
I need you right now, baby
Right by my side, honey
All night long
[Verse 9]
Make me feel alright
Yes, I, yes, I, yes, I, I, I
[Verse 10]
You better come on up and a
A get down with me
I'll make you feel real good
Just you wait and see
[Verse 11]
Make me feel alright
Yes, I feel alright
Yes, I, yes, I, yes, I, I
