Between barbed wire and prison
At penitentiary of BirminghamFreedom rings
Stormy night
Thunder, down pour rain
Nature takes its course.
Summer heat---
Mama cooks bean and rice
She says that’s
What you eat
I wear a pair sun glasses
Enter the door
Two guys work for Papa
Astonishment
Call me a movie star
I smile and take a bow
