over yonder (jonathan's song)
The warden said he'd mail my letter The chaplain's waitin' by the door Tonight we'll cross the yard together Then they can't hurt me anymore. I am going over yonder Where no ghost can follow me There's another place beyond here Where I'll be free I believe. Give my radio to Johnson Thibodeaux can have my fan Send my Bible home to Mama Call her every now and then. I suppose I got it comin' I can't ever pay enough All my rippin' and a runnin' I hurt everyone I loved. The world'll turn around without me The sun'll come up in the east Shinin' down on all of them that hate me I hope my goin' brings 'em peace.
