Ninetynine lyrics translation: BILL ANDERSON Ninetynine song texte and letras BILL ANDERSON Ninetynine tab, paroles and testo BILL ANDERSON Ninetynine Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
My mama always told me better
Than to play with a loaded gun
If I`d`ve just listened to her she`d`ve
Never had a prisoner for a son.
The picture`s still in front of my eyes
The echo in my ears
When the jury said he`s guilty
And the judge said ninety-nine years.
Oh, for ninety-nine years I`ll watch
The sunrise over that some old sea
Ninety-nine years nothing but
An empty cell for company.
Yet there`s not very much that stands between
Me and the freedom I hold dear
Just a thousand bars, a big brick wall
And a sentence of ninety-nine years.
I kissed my darling on her tender lips
And they took me by the hand
I had a nice little ride on a ferry boat
To the rock where the prison stands.
The warden said as he locked the door
I hope you`ll like it here
Just make yourself a home
You`re gonna be with us ninety-nine years.
I`ve almost forgotten what my real name is
Been a number for so long
Making little bitty rocks out of great big rocks
Gets old as the days wear on.
But I`ll do my best for ninety-nine years
Just try to stay alive
`Cause the Governor said if I`d be good
I`d get out in ninety-five.
Oh, for ninety-nine years I`ll watch
The sunrise over that some old sea
Ninety-nine years nothing but
An empty cell for company.
Yet there`s not very much that stands between
Me and the freedom I hold dear
Just a thousand bars, a big brick wall
And a sentence of ninety-nine years... Send " Ninetynine" Ringtone to your Cell
