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, shes dead and gone

Pa just don't seem to find the time

It makes me so sad that he's forsaken me

When he's all i had 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
