Prison Bound

[G]   [D]   [E]   [C]

W[G]ell, I'm goin' to a place where the [D]tough guys go

a[E]nd come out even [D]tough[C]er.

A[G] place where a man don't show his f[D]eelings,

a[E] place where a man don't cry.[D]       [C]

W[G]ell, they say I'm bein' punished

a[D]nd they say I can be reformed

b[E]ut some day I'll r[D]etur[C]n.

D[G]id they really think th[D]at this time it'd work,

y[E]ou knew all along it w[D]ould[C]n't.

O[G]h, I'm pri[D]son bound

I[E] did a crime one too [D]many tim[C]es.

I[G]t's on the outskirts of town by the[D] railroad tracks

w[E]here the countr[D]y moon[C] shines.
Oh, I'm prison bound
tell my girl I'll be back one day.
Oh, I'm prison bound
I may never know any other way.

Well, they've taken away my freedom of expression or action
Johnny says I'll walk the line
with three hots and a cot and a lot of talk
with lock-up concrete and steel.
Well, It's cold and It's clammy
man it's colder than a pimp's heart
but I gotta do my time.
There's a lesson to be learned here but what a price to pay
you know, I may never learn-
