Doing Time - Rory Gallagher

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 'til dawn.

At night I cry 'til 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.
