Well, I cleaned out my cell, and I wished all my demons to hell I fronted the board, stood up straight, stood up tall, but I lied I'm doin' time, I'm doin' time Gonna take a while, but I'll get you off my mind Well, I commenced a degree, well, good man, good for me, and good luck I work out every day, and in the morning I read from the book I'm doin' time, I'm doin' time Gonna take a while, but I'll get you off my mind Will the tears fill and fall on your face as you return to our home? Before I reach for a ghost, I awaken those tears on my own I'm doin' time, I'm doin' time Gonna take a while, but I'll get you off my mind I'm doin' time, I'm doin' time Gonna take a while, but I'll get you off my mind Well, time has a way of wearin' you down like a stone I'm chained to a love whose memory won't leave me alone Still doin' time, still doin' time Gonna take a while, but I'll get you off my mind Still doin' time, still doin' time Once we day, freedom will be mine
