lyrics

GETTING’ OUTTA HERE BLUES
V1. I’M COUNTING THE DAYS TIL I GET OUT OF LONG BAY X2
IVE DONE SO MANY YEARS HERE/ I THINK IT’S TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE
2. I GOTTA GET SOME NEW SHOES/ SO I CAN KICK THESE GAOL BLUES X2
GOTTA GET A PAIR OF CHINOS/AND A HOTEL ROOM FOR TWO
3. NEED TO FIND A MEETING/ I STILL GOT THOSE 12 STEP BLUES X2
AND THEN I’LL HEAD BACK LATER/TO MY GOOD WOMAN’S FOOD
4. I’M WAKING IN THE MORNING/ GOT MY KIDS AROUND ME TOO X2
RATHER LOOK AT THEIR FACES/THAN THOSE BIG OLD MEN IN BLUE
5. I’M GONNA HAVE A NEW LIFE/I BEEN 12 MONTHS CLEAN TODAY X2
REMEMBER ‘EASY DOES IT’/ GONNA LIVE IT DAY BY DAY
6. I’M COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS SINCE I GOT OUT OF LONG BAY X2
I DID SO MANY YEARS THERE/ AND I’M GLAD I MADE THE CHANGE
