Verse 1

Spent too many years inside this prison
Too many years just for one little fight
He got what was comin' and I think I've served enough time
I'm goin' home tonight
That stone looks mighty cold
And the guard that walks that walk
Is just waitin' to get a convict in his sights
But if I can clear the top you can bet I'll never stop
Cause I'm goin' home tonight

Chorus

Because stone walls do a prison make and iron bars a cage
Any man that says they don'ts never been inside
Cause in time the bars get closer and at night the walls grow tighter
Till you feel like there's a shackle around your mind

Verse 2

Now those guards are on my tail, I can hear those sirens wail
But I know that I'll get away and that I'll be alright
Cause I'd rather live on the run, stand free in the mornin' sun
Than to spend another lonely prison night

Chorus

Because stone walls do a prison make and iron bars a cage
Any man that says they don'ts never been inside
Cause in time the bars get closer and at night the walls grow tighter
Till you feel like there's a shackle around your mind
