(Tim Stafford-Robert G. Starnes/Daniel House Music, BMI-It Says What It Says Music, BMI) Time is a funny thing you know No matter where you are it comes and goes I've lived my life one day at a time Time is all I've had and all I know Home is a state of mind it's said Four walls and a roof inside your head To some it might seem strange But I'm too damn old to change Now the warden says the state requires my bed It's been fifty years since they sent me here I had forty-nine more to go But a week from today They'll open this gate for good And I'll have to walk away But Lord knows I'd stay if I could I won't last a day out there alone This prison cell's the only home I've known The world outside has changed But the one inside's the same I'll have to find a way to get back home
