Marty Robbins - One Window, Four Walls lyrics

rate me

I once had my freedom and my life before me<br />

Was brighter and sweeter than all words could tell<br />

But I lost it all for the love of a woman<br />

Now I'll spend my life in this cold prison cell<br />

<br />

One window, four walls and a door that won't open<br />

That's the only world that I'll ever see<br />

One window, four walls and a door that won't open<br />

The warden takes care of the key<br />

<br />

The first time I saw her my friends tried to warn me<br />

But I let her fool me with lips soft and sweet<br />

When I found her there in the arms of another<br />

Just one single shot left her dead at my feet<br />

<br />

One window, four walls and a door that won't open<br />

That's the only world that I'll ever see<br />

One window, four walls and a door that won't open<br />

The warden takes care of the key<br />

<br />

The jury that tried me would give me no mercy<br />

They said I was guilty, that I had to pay<br />

Behind prison walls and with no hope of freedom<br />

There's nothing to live for, there's no need to pray<br />

<br />

One window, four walls and a door that won't open<br />

That's the only world that I'll ever see<br />

One window, four walls and a door that won't open<br />

The warden takes care of the key
