Prisoner Song

Lyrics

CHORUS All the prisoners say I gotta get on out now Of this dreadful world All the prisoners say I gotta get on out now Of this side of the wall It's been lonely lonely lonely I got two more days 'till freedom The freedom wasn't free They had the big man watching over me I've paid my dues Do I wanna come back? I ain't got the strength to carry round this ball and chain no more I gotta get back on track 'Cus I want my own life back When I walk the two way line I know I'm gunna see them prisoners crying out [Refrain] When I come out I know this time I won't come back no more 'Cus I heard all about that revolving door I got to do the best I can To break myself away from that evil man I once was I know I need that fixin' I got to step out of the mix that feeds me Hesitation will be strong I know I got to just move along without it I gotta stop - think about what I'm doing now Stop - too many years wasted Stop - 'cus I can't come back to this [Refrain] The prisoner's say I ain't got no more time for this kind of lifestyle I gotta get away right now I need a little help lord Just get me over this hump now 'Cus I gotta get away now I just need a little more strength now
