Prison Bound

          G                        
Well, I'm goin' to a place where 
  D
the tough guys go
    Em        D   C
and come out even tougher.
  G                       D
A place where a man don't show his 
feelings,
  Em                D     C
a place where a man don't cry.
           G
Well, they say I'm bein' punished
         D
and they say I can be reformed
    Em            D C
but some day I'll return.
         G                 D
Did they really think that this time
 it'd work,
    Em             D  C
you knew all along it wouldn't.

[Chorus]

G       D
Oh, I'm prison bound
        Em            D    C
I did a crime one too many times.
            G                      
It's on the outskirts of town by 
  D
the railroad tracks
          Em         D   C
where the country moon shines.
Oh, I'm prison bound
tell my girl I'll be back one day.
Oh, I'm prison bound
I may never know any other way.

G   D   Em   C   x2
(passing chord D, from Em to C)

[Verse 2]
Well, they've taken away my freedom 
of expression or action
as Johnny says I'll walk the line
with three hots and a cot and a lot 
of talk
with lock-up concrete and steel.
Well, it's cold and it's clammy
man it's colder than a pimp's heart
but I gotta do my time.
There's a lesson to be learned here 
but what a price to pay
you know, I may never learn

[Chorus]
G       D
Oh, I'm prison bound
        Em            D    C
I did a crime one too many times.
            G                      
It's on the outskirts of town by 
  D
the railroad tracks
          Em         D   C
where the country moon shines.
Oh, I'm prison bound
tell my girl I'll be back one day.
Oh, I'm prison bound
I may never know any other way.
