Jim Croce

Its been too many years inside this prison
Too many years just for one little fight
He got what was comin
And I think I served enough time
Im goin home tonight
That stone looks mighty cold
And the guard that walks that wall
Is just waitin to get a convict in his sights
But if I can clear the top
You can bet Ill never stop
Cause Im goin home tonight
Because stone walls do a prison
Make iron bars a cage
Any man who says they dont
Never been inside
Cause in time the bars get closer
And at night the walls grow tighter
Do you feel like theres a shackle around your mind?
Now those guards are on my tail
I can hear those sirens wail
But I know that Ill get away and that Ill be alright
Cause Id rather live on the run
Stand free in the morning sun
Then to spend another lonely prison night
