Life as an Inmate

by Marc Greene

Life as an inmate in this county jail
You're sure is not heaven, but very close to hell
Is it because of a woman, or maybe even your wife
Has she taken all you got, now she wants your life

Don't give in to all the pressure, or even all the pain
There is so much more out there, for all of us to gain
So when you get that letter, from the love of your past
It's a gift sent from heaven, the woman that will last

So as you sit in your cell, wondering what to do
Pick up that Bible of yours, and read a verse or two
For the answers of life are in there, if only you can see
A wonderful life awaits you, the one that was meant to be

Write your letters back and forth, and let her know you care
For the future has meaning, that you both want to share
Put it down on paper, as you do all of this time
And soon you'll be together, there won't be the need
For another rhyme.
