Tom Raper JRs' Blues

To my very good and very troubled friend Tom Raper JR. A life of being unloved leads one to these depths.

[Verse]
Tom Raper Jr., locked up tight,
Texas bars, no end in sight,
Past of crime, drugs in his veins,
Running wild, shackled by chains.

[Verse 2]
Outlaws gripped him, shadows chased,
Fists flew freely, no sense of grace,
Violence hunted, day and night,
Tom would brawl, under neon light.

[Chorus]
Life of chaos, bound to fall,
Lost too many, heard the call,
Tommy roams in a cell so tight,
Gone the moon, behind bars, no light.

[Verse 3]
Broken dreams, under his skin,
Hit the road, dipped in sin,
Outrun the law, code of a thief,
Left no trace, only grief.

[Verse 4]
Tangled web, caught too deep,
Tears can't save, can't weep,
Respect was earned with bloody hands,
Now he sits in no man's lands.

[Chorus]
Life of chaos, bound to fall,
Lost too many, heard the call,
Tommy roams in a cell so tight,
Gone the moon, behind bars, no light.
