Buddha Blues

Killed a man to get in here
Here I'll be for life
The hardest of the hardest men
Step aside when I walk by

I was born an angry man
This is all I know
I gave up on the human kind
A long, long time ago

Then one day a man came 'round
Put us to the test
Said we're gon' sit right here and think awhile
Like Jesus in the wilderness

I thought that man was crazy
Two days on and on
Three days in, the walls came down
And all my pain was gone

For a long time I was dying
Blind, but now I see
Locked up here for all my days
I am finally free

Alabama here we rest
Live in Light and Peacefulness
Alabama here we rest
Live in Light and Peacefulness
