I step across the railroad track
Climb a fence and walk out through a field
And for a while I breath fresh air
And feel that sun I can't believe it's real

For eighteen months I've been locked up
Iron bars is all that I could see
I ran away from prison
I've been in the Nashville penitentiary

I came up here from Georgia
Everyone said I had talent I could write
Nashville's where the money is
They all said my songs are out of sight

So I caught a bus in Waycross
I enjoyed the ride a quiet winter night
Head straight to 16th avenue to show
The kind of songs that I could write

Well the first door that I opened
Was a wrong one and it's kinda like a dream
I met a music man that shook my hand
And said we both make quite a team

He handed me a contract
With a lot of words I didn't understand
But he told me not to worry
I could trust him 'cause he was an honest man
