Lyrics The Stanley Brothers

The Stanley Brothers

Two More Years

While you are out beneath the moonlit sky

I sit here and stare at the wall

I think of you sweetheart and days gone by

And I know two more years is all

Two more years is all and I'll be free

And then we can start our lives anew

I've held your memory so close to me

Two more years and I'll be free

I've been in this old prison for nineteen years

It seems like ninety to me

Only twenty-four months of tears sweetheart

Two more years and I'll be free
