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

any other way,
C G Am G F
any other way.
