Lyrics

I've been nearly five long years in this state prison
Five long years minus thirty days
In only one month more
I'll be walkin' through that door
And I'm never comin' back here any more

I thought it only happened in the movies
Convicted of a wrong I did not do
And so I'm countin' time
For someone else's crime
I don't know whose but swear it is not mine

Thirty days without your sweet love
Thirty days without you near
Thirty days of blue tomorrows
And those thirty days seem more like thirty years

They say I robbed a liquor store in Dallas
Stole a hundred dollars and some change
Although I feel the shame I'm not at all to blame
And when I'm free I hope to clear my name

Thirty days without your sweet love
Thirty days without you near
Thirty days of blue tomorrows
And those thirty days seem more like thirty years


Good lyrics '30 days'. Good instrumentation. Great vocal delivery - sounds so characteristic. Great backing vocals - really spot on. Gerat ending. Sweet sounding country music that captures the pain of separation from a sweetheart - I'm there with you! Good key change - very unnoticeable (I don't like obvious key changes where the song goes up a tone for the final chorus!)
