          F
A place where a man don't show his feelings, a place where a man don't cry.

          Am
Well they say I'm being punished and they say I can be reformed, but someday

F
I'll Return.

          G
Did they really think that this time it'd work? You knew all along it

F
wouldn't!


Chorus:
F
Oh, I'm prison bound, I did a crime one too many times.

Am
It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks, where the country

F
moon shines.

Oh, I'm prison bound, tell my girl I'll be back one day.

F
Oh, I'm prison bound, I may never know any other, any other way.

any other way.

It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks, where the country

moon shines.

Oh, I'm prison bound, tell my girl I'll be back one day.
