Endlessly facing the cold concrete floor
Four cold grey walls, and no doors
I barely remember the last forty days
Or just what they're holdin' me for
So far away, they tell me
Boy, you're here to stay
Win, lose or draw
Letters unanswered and visits so few
Cold desperation I know
I guess I'd give most anything
Oh lord, if they'd just let me go
I'm so far away
Day after lonely, lonely day
Win, lose or draw
Ma, she's dead and gone
Pa just don't seem to find the time
It makes me so sad that he's forsaken me
He's all I have left I call mine
I'm so far away
Day after lonely, lonely day
Win, lose or draw
There's two men in one room for ten long years
Still strangers that talk away the time
'Cause each time I think of your soft hand in mine
I lay here and die one more time
And I'm so far away
Day after lonely, lonely day
Win, lose or draw
If I'm far away
You know, chances
You gotta lose
You gonna lose
