Social Distortion - Prison Bound (Live) Lyrics
Prison Bound (Live)
Well, I'm goin' to a place where the tough guys go
And come out even tougher
A place where a man don't show his feelings
A place where a man don't cry
Well, they say I'm bein' punished
And they say I can be reformed
But some day I'll return, did they really think
That this time it would work?
You knew all along it wouldn't
Oh, I'm prison bound, I did a crime one too many times
It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks
Where the country moon shines, oh, I'm prison bound
Tell my girl I'll be back one day, oh, I'm prison bound
I may never know any other way
Well, they take away my freedom of expression or action
Johnny says I'll walk the line
With three hots and a cot and a lot of talk
With lock-up, concrete and steel
Well it's cold and it's clammy
Man, it's colder than a pimp's heart
But I've gotta do my time, there's a lesson
To be learned here but what a price to pay
You know I may never learn
Oh, I'm prison bound, I did a crime one too many times
It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks
Where the country moon shines, oh, I'm prison bound
Tell my girl I'll be back one day, oh, I'm prison bound
I may never know any other way
