Prison Song (2008 Stereo Mix)

歌詞

One day a friend took me aside and said I have to leave you for buying something from a friend they say I've done wrong for protecting the name of a man they say I'll have to leave you, so now I'm bidding you farewell for much too long. And here's a song to sing, for every man inside, if he can hear you sing it's an open door. There's not a rich man there, who couldn't pay his way and buy the freedom that's a high price for the poor. Kids in Texas smoking grass, ten year sentence comes to pass Misdemeanor in Ann Arbor, ask the judges Why? Another friend said to her kids I'm gonna have to leave you for selling something to the man I guess I did wrong and although I did the best I could I'm gonna have to leave you so now I'm kissing you farewell for much too long. And here's a song to sing, for every man inside if he can hear you sing it's an open door. There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way and buy the freedom that's a high price for the poor.
