My Long Walk To Jail Lyrics

There's a little place I'm going
It's a place that I know well
it's a little place that's growing
it's a little space like Hell

goodbye mom
goodbye dad
goodbye brothers
and my sisters

So what makes you think
I am coming back
this makes me feel so fucking bad
what makes you think I'm coming back
this makes me feel so fucking bad

Yeah
I'm going to Hell
Yeah
I'm going to Hell

There's a little fear I'm showing
I'm not so tough anymore
I feel a sickness and it's growing
I'm not so proud anymore

goodbye mom
goodbye dad
goodbye brothers
and my sisters

So what makes you think
I'm coming back
this makes me feel so fucking bad
what makes you think I'm coming back
this makes me feel so fucking bad

Yeah
I'm going to Hell
Yeah
I'm going to Hell

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I fucking love this song. Basically, it's about somebody committing a crime and then feeling deep regret for doing it, now that he knows the consequences. I love the opening riff after the telephone message at the beginning.

I can relate to this song and love it. Prison is Hell. But I don't feel any regret for what put me there. I think marijuana should be legal. Too many naieve kids on this site.
