Capo 2 Served six years in Huntsville with Now his thoughts fall on stone floor with And a By the His But he Guards close the big gate with the turn of a hinge While a lonely old widow sleeps with revenge Cole sleeps with sunsets and bright midnight stars And the rhythm of night sticks tappin the bars Chorus He lives in his memories hes got a wife of two years Her black and white photo is stained with his tears She left him for Tulsa she Goddamned him to hell Now she stares at the mirror in a rat trap motel Chorus He blends with the inmates they all look the same They dont like his face cause they dont know his name Hes cursed by the warden hes calmed by the priest Where he fights with his conscience for his sins to release Dont you cry for me mama my days came and went Now the chamber is empty and the last shells been spent Look in on my wife and give her your care And if I get to heaven I know ill see you there Chorus
