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 spendin' my life here
I ain't livin' 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
gonna make a jailbreak
I wish that I could fly
all in the name of liberty
all in the name of liberty
got to be free
(jailbreak) had more than I can take
(jailbreak) sixteen years
(jailbreak) you gotta get me outta here
(jailbreak)
he said he'd seen his woman being fooled with
by another man
she was down and he was up
had a gun in his hand
and the bullets started flying everywhere
and people started to scream
there was a big man lying on the ground
with the hole in his body where his life had been
it was all in the name of liberty
yes it was all in the name of liberty
you just got to be free
(jailbreak), (jailbreak)
heartbeats, they were racin'
freedom, he was chasin'
spotlights
sirens
rifles
firin'
but he made it out
with a bullet in his back
(jailbreak), had more than I can take
(jailbreak), sixteen years I had
(jailbreak), get me outta here
(jailbreak), sixteen years
(jailbreak), you gotta get me free
(jailbreak), I had more than I can take
