[Intro] A A A A [Verse]
               A                             D                  A
I've got those Louisiana stripes and they're always chaining me down

    A                        E                       A
I'm in debt for 99 years for shootin' my wife to the ground

      A                             D                     A
Well, she had to love my friend and that's not right with me

     A                                                    E                      A
So I grabbed my gun, shot 'em both in the head and then I threw their ass in the creek
[Chorus 1]
 (WALK)  D        A
Now, I'm doin' my time

        E         A      (WALK)
in this Louisiana pen

D                    A
Thinkin' 'bout maybe bein' free

       E                   A      (WALK)
on the day that I'm a dead man
[Verse]
         A                                     D                     A
Well, it took some time gettin' used to, being locked in this prison cell

A                                               E                          A
But I always hum those tunes of George Jones to help me through my days of hell

A                         D                   A
I've done me 25 years and that's alright with me

A                                                     E                   A
'cause I've got me a lotta, damn good friends in this Louisiana penitentiary
[Chorus 2]
         D        A
Now, I'm doin' my time

        E         A         (WALK)
in this Louisiana pen

D                    A                 E
Thinkin' 'bout maybe bein' free on the day

E                                                            A
I'll be walkin' to feel that fire of the Louisiana penitentiary
[Outro] D A E A
