Prisoners — текст песни (John Denver)

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the rocky mountain high album, and has also been released on this is john denver album.



Josie works the counter at the downtown five and dime

Anything at all to help her pass the time

Her mama keeps the baby and grandpa rambles on

About the good times playing in his mind



Its a hard life livin when youre lonely

Its a long night sleepin alone

Its a hard time waitin for tomorrow

Its a long, long way home



Josie spends the evening with the people in the pages

Of the paperback she picked up in the store

Or sometimes its the tv or shell try to write a letter

But they dont come too often anymore



Its a hard life livin when youre lonely

Its a long night sleepin alone

Its a hard time waitin for tomorrow

Its a long, long way home



And I stare at the gray walls before me

And I see her face in the stone

And I try to imagine our baby

And I wish they would let me go home

And I wish they would let me go home

And I wish they would let me go home



Its a hard life livin when youre lonely

And I wish they would let me go home

Its a long night sleepin alone

And I wish they would let me go home

Its a hard time waitin for tomorrow

And I wish they would let me go home

Its a long, long way home

And I wish they would let me go home

Its a long, long way home

And I wish they would let me go home

Bring me and the other boys home

And I wish they would let me go home

Bring me and the other boys home

And I wish they would let me go home

Bring me and the other boys home
