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