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