Lyrics

PUNISHMENT IN MY SOUL
words & music by Dave Phillis & Walter Guy




Well, I just stopped in for a real quick brew
Don?t make me wait; I?m just passin? through
My bus is leavin? so I got to run
Gonna take me home to meet my son

He never saw hide nor hair of me
But his Ma had pictures that she?d let him see
Now his Ma don?t like me; she never did
But she thinks an old man ought to meet his kid

CHORUS:

Ain?t a day gone by without PUNISHMENT IN MY SOUL
It yanks at my heart and its all my fault I know.

Well, the fast life put me behind the bars
I was either on top or stealin? cars
They caught red handed up in Pontiac
They hauled me away and I ain?t been back

CHORUS:

It?s been fourteen years and a month to the day
Since the judge decided how long I?d pay
Now the payin?s over so I gotta go straight
Gonna prove to the boy that it ain?t too late.

CHORUS:
