Doin' Time

I can't eat, I can't sleep
 been lying on the bunk all week
 yes this charge I can't beat
 is keeping me off the street
 sent me down one more year
 just waiting for the papers to clear
 oh it seems like I'm just doin' time without you
 locked me down in the hole
 to polish my tarnished soul
 yes the filth and the grime
 have opened up my mind
 yes I know I deserve
 the sentence that's being served
 yes it seems like I'm just doin' time without you
 I've told the truth, confessed my crime
 kept my behavior good, read the good book line by line
 yes my lesson is learned
 I'm ready to be returned
 but it seems like I'm just doin' time without you
 time moves so slow behind these gates
 and all there is to do
 pound my pile of rocks and wait
 mark each day on the wall
 and dream about a freedom call
 oh it seems like I'm just doin' time without you
