Locked up in the county jail, feeling trapped in this hell No one to call, no one to bail, just me and my thoughts to dwell The walls closing in, the time ticking slow But I won't let this place break me, I gotta keep my soul Thinking 'bout my past, all the mistakes I've made Wishing I could turn back time, erase the choices that I've laid But I can't dwell on what's done, gotta focus on the now Gotta stay strong, gotta make my family proud Counting down the days until I'm free again Promise myself I won't fall back into sin Gotta rise above, gotta change my ways I won't let this county jail be where my story stays Locked up in the county jail, but I won't let it define me I'll come out stronger, wiser, and finally free I'll learn from my mistakes, make a better life for myself No more running from the truth, no more hiding on the shelf
