Verse 1
======
Workin every day and night

Tryin to make the guards feel alright
Cuz with a single swing of a gavel
Im pounding little rocks into gravel

Never thought a tiny think like that would
Put me in a place like this, yeah


CHORUS
=======
Oh, Leavenworth

Makin gravel while Im makin mirth
Oh, Leavenworth
A tiny little slice of hell on earth


Verse 2
======

Im not the kind of guy to take a bet
I end up doing things that I regret
Like hitting on the Sgt Majors girl

On the dance floor took her for a twirl
I never meant to wear her gown, well,
Its when the MPs brought me down, yeah


CHORUS
========

Oh, Leavenworth
Makin gravel while Im makin mirth
Oh, Leavenworth

A tiny little slice of hell on earth

Bridge

=====
I---------- never get to see the moon or the stars
Seems the only view I get are those parallel bars

And--------- every day I gag upon that prison food
The cooks inTERpreTAtion OF cookING is MISconSTRUED


Verse 3
======
So I have a little space here in my cell

In the corner of my bunk above Miguel
I was working on it just the other day
Where I take a pen and scratch the days away

They often come and do inspections,
(Its the department of corrections)


CHORUS
=======
Oh, Leavenworth

Makin gravel while Im makin mirth
Oh, Leavenworth
A tiny little slice of hell on earth
