EN

I'm a long long way from where I want to be in the Arizona Prison they've got me And until they set me free oh oh me it's a long long way from here to Tennessee Oh my mouth is dry with dust my throat is raw How I miss those big green trees in Arkansas On the way to where I'll be when they set me free But it's a long long way from here to Tennessee A long long way from me to the girl that I love so Will she wait for me oh Lord I don't know I know that I've done wrong but friends I've paid the price Back in Tennessee I left sweet paradise But until they set me free oh oh me it's a long long way from here to Tennessee It's a long long way from here to Tennessee It's a long long way from here to Tennessee
