There was a
friend of mine
on murder
And the judge's
gavel fell
Jury found him guilty
Gave him sixteen years
in hell
He said
"I ain't spending
my life here
I ain't living alone
Ain't breaking no rocks
on the chain gang
I'm breakin' out
and headin' home
Gonna make a jail break
And I'm lookin' towards
the sky
I'm gonna make a
jail break
Oh, how I wish that
I could fly
All in the name
of liberty
All in the name
of liberty
Got to be free
Jail break
Let me out of here
Jail break
Sixteen years
Jail break
Had more
than I can take
Jail break
Yeah"
He said he'd
seen his lady
being fooled with
by another man
And she was down
and he was up
He had a gun
in his hand
Bullets started
flying everywhere
People started
to scream
Big man lying
on the ground
With a hole in his body
where his life had been
but it was all in the
name of liberty
All in the name
of liberty
Wow I got to be free
Jail break
Jail break
I got to break out
Out of here
Heartbeats
They were racin'
Freedom
He was chasin'
Spotlights
Sirens
Rifles, firing
but he made it out
With a bullet
in his back
Jail break
Jail break
Jail break
Jail break
Jail break
Jail break
Jail break
Jail break
Jail break
Jail break
Jail break
