Todd Snider

Prison Walls

These prison walls, they're are cold and hard

The fence is tall across the yard

Locked away and what's so strange

Is that I feel, God, I feel like nothing's changed

The floor is cold, the blankets itch

Three meals today though

God, there's something that's rich

Just some still dream, if nobody told me

Me, I know that I was never free before

I was never free far away

Never free, disappear

There's always someone so far away

Well, I will always be in here late at night

I think things through

I try to think of ways to get to you

I never can and what's so strange

Is that I feel, God, I feel like nothing's changed

Ten more months, they say I'm free

But it makes no difference to me

Locked you out so long ago

Prison walls, prison walls, they're all I know

Prison walls, prison walls, they're all I know
