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