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
