Lyrics

Today the sun will shine for me again Its beams will warm this happy man again It won't be long, the guards just open up the door When I'm gone, I won't be back no more Today I see the lovely face again Of the one who's waiting patiently for the man It won't be long, the guards just open up the door When I'm gone, I won't be back no more And they show me to the stairs The stairs that lead to freedom While we walk The feeling in my stomach Runs up into my chest And I don't know what it is But it sure feels strange I'm nervous as can be And walk down We're gonna walk down Wе're gonna walk down I'm almost free I count the steps I takе to occupy my mind Ten, twelve, fourteen, sixteen Eighteen, twenty, twenty-two, twenty-four I hesitate Facing the iron door They say, "good luck Take care, and don't come back" Then I'm all alone in the street I realize, I'm free I'm free, yeah! Cars and people, smells and lights Almost go screaming down But I ain't got time to lose control 'Cause I'm-a gonna go back home and see my old lady And I'm-a goin' back home see my, lord I'm gonna go back home I've got to go back home I'm gonna go back home Go back home, go back home, yeah! I'm gonna go back, go back home I climb the stairs of the house That I used to live in I walk in Find there's no one around There are sounds comin' from the bedroom I go and look And see her there with a man who I don't know I realize what happened during the time I've been away But I took my pistol I realize I gotta run I gotta run, yeah, I gotta run I got to run I gotta run I gotta got-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha... I gotta run, yeah, I gotta run I gotta run, ha-ha-ha... I gotta run, I gotta, oh, I gotta run yeah I gotta run, I gotta run Oh-ha-ha-ha-ha I gotta run, I got to I got to, I, I, I, I, I, I I gotta run, I gotta run I got, I got, I gotta run I gotta run, I gotta run I gotta run, I, I, I, I, I gotta run
