The Prison |
| I was high and dry |
| Like the Kansas sky |
| If I ached for any more |
| I knew I’d surely die |
| Night after night |
| Trying to get out of my skin |
| Day after lonely day |
| You’d send me back again |
| I have stood inside this prison |
| I have touched its stony walls |
| I know before you try to run |
| You gotta learn to crawl |
| I tried to leave it all behind me |
| I drove all night |
| Just to drive all day |
| But the walls of this prison |
| Still surround me |
| And I can’t break away |
| I held you so close |
| I thought my soul would break |
| But you were just a ghost |
| The holiest mistake |
| I will not be a judge |
| Or the one to set you free |
| I’ll just keep on drivin' |
| And time’s a friend to me |
| I have stood inside this prison |
| I have touched its stony walls |
| I know before you try to run |
| You gotta learn to crawl |
| I tried to leave it all behind me |
| I drove all night |
| I drove all day |
| But the walls of this prison |
| Still surround me |
| And I can’t break away |
| The sentence has been read |
| Everything is done |
| I wish I could say goodbye to you |
| Wish I could hold the sun |
| My eyes are dull and burnt |
| And they lie to me sometimes |
| Cause I thought I saw you cryin' |
| I have stood inside this prison |
| I have touched its stony walls |
| I know before you try to run |
| You gotta learn to crawl |
| Oh… I tried to leave it all behind me |
| In my dreams somehow I got away |
| But the walls of this prison |
| Still surround me |
| And I can’t break away |
