Jailbreak lyrics

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

Got to be free

Jailbreak, let me out of here

Jailbreak, sixteen years ah

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

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

Jailbreak, jailbreak

Jailbreak, jailbreak

Jailbreak, jailbreak

Jailbreak, jailbreak

Jailbreak, jailbreak
