One, two, three
Well, I'm goin' to a place where the tough guys go
And come out even tougher
A place where a man don't show his feelings
A place where a man don't cry
They say I'm being punished and they say I can be reformed
But someday I'll return
Did they really think that this time it would work?
You know, all along, it wouldn't
Oh, I'm prison bound
I did a crime one too many times
It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks
Where the country moon shines
Oh, I'm prison bound
Tell my girl I'll be back one day
Oh, I'm prison bound
I may never know any other, any other way
Any other way
Well, they take away my freedom of expression or action
And Johnny says I'll walk the line
With three hots and a cot and a lot of talk
With lock up, concrete and steel
Well, it's cold and it's clammy
Man, it's colder than a pimp's heart
But I gotta do my time
There's a lesson to be learned here, but what a price to pay
You know, I may never learn
Oh, I'm prison bound
I did a crime one too many times
It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks
Where the country moon shines
Oh, I'm prison bound
Tell my girl I'll be back one day
Oh, I'm prison bound
I may never know any other, any other way
Any other way
Oh, I'm prison bound
I did a crime one too many times
It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks
Where the country moon shines
Oh, I'm prison bound
Tell my girl I'll be back one day
Oh, I'm prison bound
I may never know any other, any other way
Any other way
Any other way
