I spent my life for the good times
I found trouble in all the wrong places
They locked me up in jail
Sitting here stamping license plates
Staring at all those criminal faces
Until I break these chains

Oh I miss my baby
I can smell her on these letters
That she writes me from our home

Oh I miss the swift sea
The waves and great blue ocean
The friends I have known

Oh I miss the sunshine
I miss the breeze upon my shoulders
Come carry me away

When the set me free, Lord
I'm gonna go and get her
And this world we're gonna roll

When I woke this morning
The swung them gates open
And I stood there free of blame
Waited for my baby
Just to hear her voice again
But she never came

I gotta find my home
I gotta find my baby
