Lyrics

Life ain't been roses but I ain't got no time for tears
Done things that are wrong I've been locked up a couple of years
Got a thorn on my side
Got a rattle snakes hide
Get up each time in knocked around
Life ain't been roses but I ain't got no time for tears

Life ain't been roses but I ain't got no time for pain
All the C.O.s and all the wardens are starting to look all the same
Got a hair trigger temper
I swing from the fences
He started that shit anyway
Life ain't been roses but I ain't got no time for Pain

I'm a son of a bitch with a seven year itch
And a half empty flask at my hip
From the streets to the pines
I'm walking the line
And I feel like I'm loosing my grip

Life ain't been roses but I ain't got no time for fear
Some call it courage I call it a couple of beers
I got a debt to be paid
I ain't never afraid
The Devil ain't got nothing on me
Heaven may be kingdom lord but hell ain't a bad place for me
