Mike McKew - Courthouse Lyrics

The ground was cold that day
As I gave my life away
To a judge who was old and gray
And he said, son you're a disgrace
And my mother cried for me
She couldn't look me in the face
So I said goodbye for the last time
For the last time on this side

The chains were on my legs
As I walked away from them
My mind was in a daze
And I said, you've all made a grave mistake
And I laughed at them
As my heart sunk in pain
So I looked outside for the last time
For the last time on this side

My days are all the same
As I waste away
My life is in decay
And I said, God won't you hear me pray
And he laughed at me
And gave me another day
So I looked inside for the last time
For the last time on this side
