Slowly the long day turns to night
And soon they'll turn out the prison lights
But in my cell i'm making plans
To be with you at home again
These walls and bars can't hold a dreaming man
So i'll be home to tuck the babies in
They can chain my body but not my mind
And i'll break out again tonight
The warden thinks i'm in for life
Cause all he's ever seen me wear is stripes
He don't know bout my blue suit and my tie
That i wear when i'm with you each night
These walls and bars can't hold a dreaming man
So i'll be home to tuck the babies in
They can chain my body but not my mind
And i'll break out again tonight
