Prison Bound lyrics

Artist  : Social Distortion 
Song : Prison Bound
 
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 being 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

chorus:

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-

chorus:

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.
