[Intro]
G D Em D C 6x
[Verse]
G D
Well I'm Goin' to a place where the tough guys go,
Em D C
and come out even tougher.
G D
A place where a man don't show his feelings,
Em D C
a place where a man don't cry.
G D
Well they say I'm being punished and they say
Em D C
I can be reformed, but someday I'll return.
G D
Did they really think that this time it'd work?
Em D C
You knew all along it wouldn't!
[Chorus]
G D
Oh, I'm prison bound,
Em D C
I did a crime one too many times.
G
It's on the outskirts of town,
D
by the railroad tracks,
Em D C
where the country moon shines.
G D
Oh, I'm prison bound,
Em D C
tell my girl I'll be back one day.
G D Em D C
Oh, I'm prison bound, I may never know any other,
G D Em D C
any other way,
G D Em D C
any other way.
[Verse]
G D
Well they take away my freedom of expression
Em D C
and action, but Johnny says I walk the line.
G D
With three hots and a cot, and allot of talk
Em D C
that locks up concrete and steel
G D
Well it's cold and it's clammy, and it's colder
Em D C
than a pimp's heart, but I've gotta do my time.
G
There's a lesson to be learned here,
D Em D C
but what a price to pay, you know, I may never learn
[Chorus]
G D
Oh, I'm prison bound,
Em D C
I did a crime one too many times.
G
It's on the outskirts of town,

Oh, I'm prison bound,

Oh, I'm prison bound, I may never know any other,

any other way,
G D Em D C
any other way.
