Rory Gallagher - Doing Time Lyrics
I'm breaking rocks and I'm doing time
She's on the streets with a friend of mine
I drove the car I took the fall
I walk the cell at night I cry 'til dawn
At night I cry 'til dawn
I'm breaking out I soon will get my change
I'm in my cell it's ten by nine
She's living it up on champagne and wine
I took the rap I have to smile
Time drags by but I'll get loose after a while
Get loose after a while
Deep in the night just like a child
I walk the cell my mind is running wild
I'm going numb from too much waiting
Until my dying day
I'll suffocate from too much hating
There'll be hell to pay
I'm gonna rot from too much waiting
'Til my dying day
My soul is bruised my heart is shaking
There'll be hell to pay
I'm digging ditches I'm breaking stones
Sewing mailbags it ain't no fun
Bread and water my life is complete
Hold my breath 'til I'm back out on the streets
Back out on the streets
Revenge is sweet or so they say
Just watch your steps I'm breaking out today
Revenge is sweet or so they say
Just watch your steps I'm breaking out today

Rory Gallagher Doing Time Comments
How come this song was not a hit worldwide?...whole album is great but this song along with "Continental Op" should have been huge.....I didn't even hear this until I started getting into Rory a few years ago. I've learned "Continental Op" on guitar through songbook and ear and most of "'Kid' Gloves" by ear....but this is next!!
..............I'm breaking rocks and I'm doing time
She's on the street with a friend of mine
I drove the car, I took the fall
I walk the cell, at night I cry till dawn
At night I cry till dawn
The days are long but time will pass
I'm breaking out, I soon will get my chance
I'm in a cell, it's ten by nine
She's livin' it up on champagne and wine
I took the rap, I have to smile
Time drags by but I'll get loose after a while
Get loose after a while
Deep in the night, just like a child
I walk the cell, my mind is running wild
I'm going numb from too much waiting
Until my dying day
I'll suffocate from too much hating
There'll be hell to pay
I'm gonna rot from too much waiting
Till my dying day
My soul is bruised, my heart is shaking
There'll be hell to pay, yeah
I'm digging ditches, I'm breaking stones
Sewing mailbags, it ain't no fun
Bread and water, my life is complete
Hold my breath, till I'm back out on the street
Back out on the street, yeah
Revenge is sweet or so they say
Just watch your step, I'm breaking out today
Revenge is sweet or so they say
Just watch your step, I'm breaking out today
Revenge is sweet or so they say
Just watch your step, I'm breaking out today
