Prisoner Song Letra

Of this dreadful world
All the prisoners say
I gotta get on out now,
Of this side of the wall

It's been lonely lonely lonely
I got two more days 'till freedom
The freedom wasn't free
They had the big man watching over me
I've paid my dues
Do I wanna come back?
I ain't got the strength to carry round this ball and chain no more
I gotta get back on track
'Cus I want my own life back
When I walk the two way line
I know I'm gunna see them prisoners crying out

CHORUS

When I come out,
I know this time I wont come back no more
'Cus I heard all about that revolving door
I got to do the best I can
To break myself away from that evil man I once was
I know I need that fixin'
I got to step out of the mix that feeds me
Hesitation will be strong
I know I got to just move along without it

I gotta stop
- think about what I'm doing now
Stop
- too many years wasted
Stop
- 'cus I can't come back to this

CHORUS

The prisoner's say
I ain't got no more time for this kind of lifestyle
I gotta get away right now
I need a little help lord
Just get me over this hump now
'Cus I gotta get away now
I just need a little more strength now
