Stone Walls - Jim Croce
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 Chorus
