Spent too many years inside this prision
Too many years just for one little fight
He got what was comin and I think I've served enough time
I'm goin home tonight
That stone looks mighty cold
And the guard that walks that walk
Is just waitin to get a convict in his sights
But if I can clear the top you can bet I'll never stop
Cause I'm goin home tonight
Because stone walls do a prision make and iron bars a cage
Any man that says they don'ts never been inside
Cause in time the bars get closer and at night the walls grow
tighter
Till you feel like there's a shackle around your mind
Now those guards are on my tail, I can hear those sirens wail
But I know that I'll get away and that I'll be alright
Cause I'd rather live on the run, stand free in the mornin sun
Than to spend another lonely prision night
