[D]
Spent too [A] many years [D] inside this prison, [G] too many years [D] just for one [A] little fight.
[D] He got what was coming and [G] I think I served a tough time.
[D] I'm [A] going home [G] tonight.
[D] That stone looks [A] mighty cold [Bm] and the guard that walks [F#] that wall is [G] just
waiting to get [D] a convict in [A] his sights.
But [D] if I can clear the top, you [G] can bet
I'll never stop.

[D] Now those guards are on [A] my tail.
[B] I can hear those [F#] sirens wail, [G] but I know that I'll get [D] away and that I'll be [A] alright.
[D] Cause I'd rather live on the run, [G] stand free in the morning sun, [D] than to spend
[A] another lonely [G] prison night.
