Jim Croce - Stone Walls lyrics

It's been 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 wall 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 Because stone walls do a prison Make iron bars a cage Any man who says they don't Never been inside 'Cause in time the bars get closer And at night the walls grow tighter Do you feel like there's a Shackle around your mind 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 morning sun Than to spend another Lonely prison night Because stone walls do a prison Make iron bars a cage Any man who says they don't Never been inside 'Cause in time the bars get closer And at night the walls grow tighter Do you feel like there's a Shackle around your mind
