[Verse 1]
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 am not spending my life here
I ain't living alone
I'm breaking no rocks on the chain gang
I'm breaking out and heading home"
[Verse 2]
Going to make a jailbreak
And I'm looking towards the sky
I'm going to 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 mh
Jailbreak, had more than I can take
Jailbreak, yeah
[Verse 3]
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,ah
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Heartbeats, they were racing
Freedom, he was chasing
Spotlights, sirens, rifles, firing
But he made it out
With a bullet in his back
[Outro]
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
