Dm           C         G        
When I was a young boy, I went 
        Dm*
out on my own
Dm         C                 G  
I got into trouble, I didn't 
             Dm*
know right from wrong
G                  C        Dm*
I've got this prison for my home.

She said I know where, there's a 
G          Dm*
light upon me
Dm                  C             
It's in the Memphis bank, come and
 G           Dm*
 rob it with me
G                  C

If I had my life to live over, I'd
 G           Dm*
 be a better man
Dm                      C

        G             Dm*
and I'd try to understand
G                    C           
I wouldn't have this prison for 
    Dm*
my home.
G                C            Dm*
These four gray walls for my home
