Intro: G D Em D C
Verse 1:
G D Em D C
Well I'm Goin' to a place where the tough guys go, and come out even tougher.
G D Em D C
A place where a man don't show his feelings, a place where a man don't cry.
G D Em
Well they say I'm being punished and they say I can be reformed, but someday
D C
I'll Return.
G D Em D
Did they really think that this time it'd work? You knew all along it
C
wouldn't!
Chorus:
G D Em D C
Oh, I'm prison bound, I did a crime one too many times.
G D Em
It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks, where the country
D C
moon shines.
G D Em D C
Oh, I'm prison bound, 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, any other way.
G D Em D C
any other way.
Verse 2:
G D Em
Well they take away my freedom of expression and action, but Johnny says I
D C
walk the line.
G D Em D C
With three hots and a cot, and allot of talk that locks up concrete and steel
G D
Well it's cold and it's clammy, and it's colder than a pimp's heart, but I've
Em D C
gotta do my time.
G D Em
There's a lesson to be learned here, but what a price to pay, you know, I may
D C
never learn.
Chorus: (Play 2x more)

Oh, I'm prison bound, I did a crime one too many times.

moon shines.

Oh, I'm prison bound, tell my girl I'll be back one day.

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

any other way.
