Seen your footsteps on my trail
If you're not lost, we'll never fail
to wind up back in there
See coal shatter I can't say here
I've worn a shackle now for a year
Now I leave it for another
No more labor in pouring rain
the loving maker is the only thing i speak of
In the godly hour
And the man who learned me made me swear
he took my blood out and didn't care
Oh, yes sir
You know what's best
Just got out, man, paid my fine
And no good reason to call my time
Oh, wait, I took a life
And the jail I speak of is no place
It's in my mind, man, behind my face
this freedom is in my heart
This freedom is in my heart
This freedom is in my heart
