Jim McGill - Doing Time Lyrics

When it's one of those days and it's raining hard
Can't do anything right
Too late to get down on my knees and beg
Ask for your forgiveness tonight

You said that your love was free
Wouldn't cost me a dime
But there was always gonna be a price to pay
And now I'm just doing time

So I get up in the morning
Eyes down walking the line
One day I was free, free as a bird
The next, I'm doing time

When the sentence is harsh, the days are long
You get lost inside your own mind
Like our love, it's become my own prison cell
And now I'm just doing time

It so happens to be that you mean much to me
To say otherwise would be a plain lie
And through it all my dear it's become crystal clear
And it feels like I've been doing time

So I get up in the morning
Eyes down walking the line
One day I was free, free as a bird
The next, i'm doing time

Yesterday I was free, free as a bird
And today, I'm doing time
