It's been too many years Inside this prison 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 wall 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
{Chorus}: Because stone walls do a prison Make iron bars a cage Any man who says they don't Never been inside 'Cause in time the bars get closer And at night the walls grow tighter Do 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 morning sun Then to spend another Lonely prison night
