99 Years Glen Campbell 1964 Star Route Intro verse 1 My Mamma always taught me better than to play with a loaded gun If I'd just listened to her She'd never had a prisoner for a son The pictures still in front of my eyes And the echo in my ears The jury said he's guilty And the judge said 99 years riff verse 2 Well I kissed my Darlin' on her tender lips and she took me by the hand I had a nice little ride on a ferry boat To the rocks where the prison stands The Warden said as he locked the door Well I hope you like it here Just make yourself at home you're gonna be with us 99 years verse 3 Well I've almost forgotten what my real name is I've been a number for so long Making little-bitty rocks outta great big rocks Gets old as the days wear on But I'll do my best for 99 years Just try to stay alive But the Warden said if I do good I'll get out in 95 verse 4 Oh for 99 years I'll watch the sun rise over that same ole scene 99 years with nothin' but an empty cell for company Yes there's not very much that stands between me And the freedom I hold dear Just a thousand bars and a big thick wall And a sentence of 99 years flyinglibra51 God Bless Glen Travis Campbell
