Well I'm Goin' to a place where the tough guys go, and come out even tougher.
A place where a man don't show his feelings, a place where a man don't cry.
Well they say I'm being punished and they say I can be reformed, but someday
I'll Return.
Did they really think that this time it'd work? You knew all along it
wouldn't!
Oh, I'm prison bound, I did a crime one too many times.
It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks, where the country
moon 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, any other way.
any other way.
Well they take away my freedom of expression and action, but Johnny says I
walk the line.
With three hots and a cot, and allot of talk that locks up concrete and steel
Well it's cold and it's clammy, and it's colder than a pimp's heart, but I've
gotta do my time.
There's a lesson to be learned here, but what a price to pay, you know, I may
never learn.
