Prison Walls

Todd Snider

These prison walls
Are cold and hard
The fence is tall
Across the yard
Locked away
And what's so strange
Is that I feel
God I feel
Like nothing's changed

The floor is cold
The blankets itch
Three meals today though
God there's somethin' that's rich
Just some still dream
If nobody I know
Me I know
That I was never free before
I was never free far away
Never free
Disappear

There's always someone
So far away
I will always be in here
Late at night
Thing things through
I try to think of ways
To get to you
I never can
But what's so strange
Is that I feel
God I feel
Like nothing's changed

Ten more months
They say I'm free
But it makes no
Difference to me
Locked you out
So long ago
Prison walls
Prison walls
They're all I know

Prison walls
Prison walls
They're all I know
