STONE WALLS - by Jim Croce
Spent too many years inside this prision
Too many years just for one little fight
He got what was comin and I think I've served enough time
I'm goin home tonight
That stone looks mighty cold
And the guard that walks that walk
Is just waitin to get a convict in his sights
But if I can clear the top you can bet I'll never stop
Cause I'm goin home tonight
Chorus: Because stone walls do a prision make and iron bars a cage
Any man that says they don'ts never been inside
Cause in time the bars get closer and at night the walls grow
tighter
Till you feel like there's a shackle around your mind
Now those guards are on my tail, I can hear those sirens wail
But I know that I'll get away and that I'll be alright
Cause I'd rather live on the run, stand free in the mornin sun
Than to spend another lonely prision night
Chorus:
