Jailbreak |
There was a friend of mine on murder |
And the judge's gavel fell |
Jury found him guilty |
Gave him sixteen years in hell |
He said "I ain't spending my life here |
I ain't living alone |
Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang |
I'm breakin' out and headin' home" |
Gonna make a jailbreak |
And I'm lookin' towards the sky |
I'm gonna make a jailbreak |
Oh, how I wish that I could fly |
All in the name of liberty |
All in the name of liberty |
Got to be free |
Jailbreak, let me out of here |
Jailbreak, sixteen years ah |
Jailbreak, had more than I can take |
Jailbreak, yeah |
He said he'd seen his lady being fooled with |
By another man |
She was down and he was up |
Had a gun in his hand |
Bullets started flying everywhere |
And people started to scream |
Big man lying on the ground |
With a hole in his body |
Where his life had been |
But it was all in the name of liberty |
All in the name of liberty |
I got to be free |
Jailbreak, jailbreak |
I got to break out |
Out of here |
Heartbeats, they were racin' |
Freedom, he was chasin' |
Spotlights, sirens, rifles firing |
But he made it out |
With a bullet in his back |
Jailbreak, jailbreak |
Jailbreak, jailbreak |
Jailbreak, jailbreak |
Jailbreak, jailbreak |
Jailbreak, jailbreak |
