[Intro]
F C Dm C A# 6x
[Verse]
F C
Well I'm Goin' to a place where the tough guys go,
Dm C A#
and come out even tougher.
F C
A place where a man don't show his feelings,
Dm C A#
a place where a man don't cry.
F C
Well they say I'm being punished and they say
Dm C A#
I can be reformed, but someday I'll return.
F C
Did they really think that this time it'd work?
Dm C A#
You knew all along it wouldn't!
[Chorus]
F C
Oh, I'm prison bound,
Dm C A#
I did a crime one too many times.
F
It's on the outskirts of town,
C
by the railroad tracks,
Dm C A#
where the country moon shines.
F C
Oh, I'm prison bound,
Dm C A#
tell my girl I'll be back one day.
F C Dm C A#
Oh, I'm prison bound, I may never know any other,
F C Dm C A#
any other way,
F C Dm C A#
any other way.
[Verse]
F C
Well they take away my freedom of expression
Dm C A#
and action, but Johnny says I walk the line.
F C
With three hots and a cot, and allot of talk
Dm C A#
that locks up concrete and steel
F C
Well it's cold and it's clammy, and it's colder
Dm C A#
than a pimp's heart, but I've gotta do my time.
F
There's a lesson to be learned here,
C Dm C A#
but what a price to pay, you know, I may never learn
[Chorus]
F C
Oh, I'm prison bound,
Dm C A#
I did a crime one too many times.
