Ninety-Nine Years (One Dark Day)
Lyrics:
This here is a song about life in prison
It's called ninety-nine
years and one dark day
The ninety-nine years are the years you're in
prison
And the one dark day is the day you die
And it's too bad
for you...
I commited a crime many years ago
I shot my woman
with a fourty-four
She had another man, wasn't in my head
I got
ninety-nine years and one dark day
I’ve been in this prison
twenty years or more
I shot my woman with a fourty-four
I’ll be
right here till my dyin’ day
I got ninety-nine years and one dark day
Well the food is bad and the beds are hard
I spend all day
breakin’ rocks in the yard
Well there ain’t no change, gonna stay
that way
I got ninety-nine years and one dark day
Ain’t no
singer that can sing a song
Ain’t no one saying that I ain’t wrong
His mind’s made up, gonna stay that way
I got ninety-nine years and
one dark day
I never learned to read, I never learned to write
My whole life’s been one big fight
I never heard about the righteous
way
I got ninety-nine years and one dark day
I remember a time
many years ago
I shot my woman with a fourty-four
I’ll be right
here till my dyin’ day
I got ninety-nine years and one dark day
I got ninety-nine years and one dark day
