I got a ways to go while the moon hangs high
I still hope she's mine
I've waited two long years for this one night
I still hope she's mine
I've been down in the hole, been locked up tight
Still hope that she's mine
And if they catch me again they won't take me alive
I wanna see my girl
Lord knows I need my girl
I broke out to be with my girl
Ain't nothing keepin' me from seeing my girl
I hear the rattle of the chains on my ankles tight
I still hope that she's mine
I cut my arm wide open on a razor wire
I still hope that she's mine
Now this trail of blood's gone leave a sign
Still hope she's mine
But if they catch me again, they won't take me alive
I'm gonna see my girl
Lord knows I need my girl
I broke out to be with my girl
Ain't nothing keepin' me from seeing my girl
Well its pitch black dark, and I'm running blind
I still hope she's mine
I ain't slept in days and my eyes are tired
Still hope that she's mine
But the thought of her touch is worth every mile
She still hope that she's mine
And if they catch me again, they won't take me alive
When I walked into the house
She was standing there in her old white cotton gown
She fell into my arms and cried
And I promised her I'd never leave her side
The fire was blazing in her eyes
Getting dizzy off love and cheap red wine
She wrapped me up wearing only a smile
And we were headed for the border in the sweet sunshine
