Ninety-Nine - Bill Anderson[00:00:00]

Written by：Bill Anderson[00:00:01]

My mama always told me better[00:00:08]

Than to play with a loaded gun[00:00:12]

If I'd have just listened to her she'd have[00:00:15]

Never had a prisoner for a son[00:00:17]

The picture's still in front of my eyes[00:00:21]

The echo in my ears[00:00:24]

When the jury said he's guilty[00:00:27]

And the judge said ninety nine years[00:00:30]

Oh for ninety nine years I'll watch[00:00:33]

The sunrise over that some old sea[00:00:36]

Ninety nine years nothing but[00:00:40]

An empty cell for company[00:00:42]

Yet there's not very much that stands between[00:00:46]

Me and the freedom I hold dear[00:00:49]

Just a thousand bars a big brick wall[00:00:52]

And a sentence of ninety nine years[00:00:56]

I kissed my darling on her tender lips[00:01:00]

And they took me by the hand[00:01:03]

I had a nice little ride on a ferry boat[00:01:06]

To the rock where the prison stands[00:01:10]

The warden said as he locked the door[00:01:13]

I hope you'll like it here[00:01:16]

Just make yourself a home[00:01:19]

You're gonna be with us ninety nine years[00:01:22]

I've almost forgotten what my real name is[00:01:27]

Been a number for so long[00:01:30]

Making little bitty rocks out of great big rocks[00:01:33]

Gets old as the days wear on[00:01:37]

But I'll do my best for ninety nine years[00:01:40]

Just try to stay alive[00:01:43]

'Cause the governor said if I'd be good[00:01:46]

I'd get out in ninety five[00:01:49]

Oh for ninety nine years I'll watch[00:01:52]

The sunrise over that some old sea[00:01:55]

Ninety nine years nothing but[00:01:59]

An empty cell for company[00:02:02]

Yet there's not very much that stands between[00:02:05]

Me and the freedom I hold dear[00:02:08]

Just a thousand bars a big brick wall[00:02:12]

And a sentence of ninety nine years[00:02:15]
