Nine Pound Steel Lyrics By Joe Simon

    through these walls
    i see the sun
    i’m here because
    the wrong i’ve done
    made me ashamed
    i stole from her
    oh when i should’ve stood up like a man
    you see i’ve got to say good morning
    to a nine pound steel

    listen to me now
    they got me working
    like a slave
    payin’ for
    my mistake
    i know someday
    i’ll be free someday
    please darling
    oh honey wait for me

    i’ve got to say good morning
    to a nine pound steel
    good morning to that old nine pound steel
    this old jail
    is so cold
    i need ya darling
    i need your love more and more

    i know someday
    someday i’ll be free someday
    free darling oh honey wait for me
    until i lay down this whole nine
    nine pound nine pound steel
    it’s so hard sometimes
    listen to me honey
    i’m comin’ home come home
    wait for me
    i’m comin’ home
    wait for me
