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 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
