For six long years I’ve been here in this prison
livin my life behind bars in this dirty cell
tomorrow they’re goin to take me down to nashville
and send my soul to heaven or to hell
But I’m goin to love you like there’s no tomorrow
I’m gonna love you like there’s no yesterday
I’m gonna hug and kiss away your sorrow
I’m gonna love you like there’s no tomorrow
the warden said my last request was granted
you could come and stay with me tonight
you’re the only one who ever really loved me
so hold me in your arms hold me tight
i know that my life will soon be over
and the life of our baby child is just begun
there’s only one thought thats left to haunt me
just to think that what i’ve lost i might have won
