99 Years For One Dark Day

I’ve been in this prison twenty years or more\nI shot my woman with a 44\nI’ll be right here till my dyin' day\nI got 99 years for one dark day\nWell the food is bad and the beds are hard\nI spend all day breakin' rocks in the yard\nWell there ain’t no change, gonna stay that way\nI got 99 years for one dark day\nAin’t no singer that can sing a song\nAin’t no one saying that I ain’t wrong\nHis mind’s made up, gonna stay that way\nI got 99 years for one dark day\nI never learned to read, I never learned to write\nMy whole life’s been one big fight\nI never heard about the righteous way\nI got 99 years for one dark day\nI remember a time many years ago\nI shot my woman with a 44\nI’ll be right here till my dyin' day\nI got 99 years for one dark day\nI got 99 years for one dark day
