Lyrics

TIME ON THE OUTSIDE

Working my life away in the land of the free,
but I am still a slave to this big old company.
Haven't seen my wife in I think it's seven days,
how about that kid of mine I hope he's getting passing grades.

‘Cause I’m doin' time on the outside,
my body's numb and I feel a part of me has died.
I'm doin' time on the outside,
Think I'm in control but I'm just goin' along for the ride.

I really miss my family I hope to see 'em again one day,
I don't like this life on the road but it's the only thing that pays.
Gotta make a livin' and it's the only thing I know,
so until I can retire my life is go go go go!

‘Cause I’m doin' time on the outside,
my body's numb and I feel a part of me has died.
I'm doin' time on the outside,
Think I'm in control but I'm just goin' along for the ride.

And I never wanted to hurt anyone,
since I've been in the system that's all that I have done.
And I pray for my family who has left me far behind,
I hope that check I send to you gives you some peace of mind.

‘Cause I’m doin' time on the outside,
my body's numb and I feel a part of me has died.
I'm doin' time on the outside,
Think I'm in control but I'm just goin' along for the ride.
