Slowly the long day turns to night And soon they'll switch off the prison lights But in my cell I'm making plans To be at home with you again
These walls and bars can't hold a dreaming man So I'll be home to tuck the babies in They can chain my body, but not my mind And I'll break out again tonight
The warden thinks I'm in for life All he's ever seen me wear are stripes He don't know about my blue suit and my tie That I wear when I am with you each night
These walls and bars can't hold a dreaming man So I'll be home to tuck the babies in They can chain my body, but not my mind And I'll break out again tonight And I'll break out again tonight
