These prison walls keep me from leaving
There`s no escape I`m not strong enough
I was condemned the night the
devil came soul stealin`
The day I lost my one true love
These prison walls are built of sorrow
These prison bars are built of pain
My prison cell is always with me
I live in hell, I`ve gone insane
This prison is my very own invention
Nobody sees the barbed wire but me
I think that they`re just no paying attention
I pray she comes back home and sets me free
The prison guards, laugh at my heartache
The say there`;s no chance for parole
I tried so hard, but these bars they will not break
She took my heart, Scratch took my soul
What kind of stones are these walls made of
If I am guilty what was my crime
I love her so what was she afraid of
Forever more I`ll do my time
These prison walls keep me from leaving
These prison bars harder than steel
She`s got her own prison walls and
they`re concealing
The love that she will never feel.
