Lyrics Rory Gallagher

Rory Gallagher

Doing Time

I'm breaking rocks and I'm doing time

She's on the street with a friend of mine

I drove the car, I took the fall

I walk the cell, at night I cry till dawn

At night I cry till dawn

The days are long but time will pass

I'm breaking out, I soon will get my chance

I'm in a cell, it's ten by nine

She's livin' it up on champagne and wine

I took the rap, I have to smile

Time drags by but I'll get loose after a while

Get loose after a while

Deep in the night, just like a child

I walk the cell, my mind is running wild

I'm going numb from too much waiting

Until my dying day

I'll suffocate from too much hating

There'll be hell to pay

I'm gonna rot from too much waiting

Till my dying day

My soul is bruised, my heart is shaking

There'll be hell to pay, yeah

I'm digging ditches, I'm breaking stones

Sewing mailbags, it ain't no fun

Bread and water, my life is complete

Hold my breath, till I'm back out on the street

Back out on the street, yeah

Revenge is sweet or so they say

Just watch your step, I'm breaking out today

Revenge is sweet or so they say

Just watch your step, I'm breaking out today

Revenge is sweet or so they say

Just watch your step, I'm breaking out today
