|
I was high and dry like the |
|
Kansas sky |
|
If I ached for any more |
|
I knew I'd surely die |
|
Night after night, trying to get out of my skin |
|
Day after lonely day, you'd send me back again |
|
I have stood inside this prison |
|
I have touched its stony walls |
|
I know before you try to run |
|
You gotta learn to crawl |
|
I tried to leave it all behind me |
|
I drove all night just to drive all day |
|
But the walls of this prison still surround me |
|
And I can't break away |
|
I held you so close, |
|
I thought my soul would break |
|
But you were just a ghost, the holiest mistake |
|
I will not be a judge or the one to set you free |
|
I'll just keep on drivin' and time's a friend to me |
|
I have stood inside this prison |
|
I have touched its stony walls |
|
I know before you try to run |
|
You gotta learn to crawl |
|
I tried to leave it all behind me |
|
I drove all night, |
|
I drove all day |
|
But the walls of this prison still surround me |
|
And I can't break away |
|
The sentence has been read everything is done |
|
I wish I could say goodbye to you, wish |
|
I could hold the sun |
|
My eyes are dull and burnt and they lie to me sometimes' |
|
Cause I thought |
|
I saw you cryin' |
|
I have stood inside this prison |
|
I have touched its stony walls |
|
I know before you try to run |
|
You gotta learn to crawl |
|
I tried to leave it all behind me |
|
In my dreams somehow |
|
I got away |
|
But the walls of this prison still surround me |
|
And I can't break away |
