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 Jailbreak |
And I'm lookin' towards the sky, |
I'm gonna make a Jailbreak |
Oh, how I wish that I could fly |
All in the name of Liberty |
All in the name of Liberty |
Just set me free |
Jailbreak, let me out of here |
Jailbreak, sixteen years, |
Jailbreak, had more than I can take |
Jailbreak, yeah." |
He said he'd seen his lady being fooled with |
by another man. |
She was down and he was up |
He had a gun in his hand. |
Bullets started flying everywhere |
And 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 |
I got to be free. |
Jailbreak, Jailbreak |
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. |
