Prison Bound — Social Distortion
Well, I'm goin' to a place where the tough guys go And come out even tougher A place where a man don't show his feelings A place where a man don't cry
Well, they say I'm bein' punished And they say I can be reformed But some day I'll return Did they really think that This time it would work
You knew all along it wouldn't...
Chorus
Oh, I'm prison bound I did a crimme one too many times It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks Where the country moon shines Oh, I'm prison bound Tell my girl I'll be back one day Oh, I'm prison bound I may never know any other way
Well, they take away my freedom of expression or action Johnny says I'll walk the line With three hots and a cot And a lot of talk With lock-up, concrete, and steel
Well it's cold and it's clammy Man, it's colder than a pimp's heart But I've gotta do my time There's a lesson to be learned here But what a price to pay
You know I may never learn-
