Jailbreak Lyrics - '74 Jailbreak - Ac/dc

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 

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 

He 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
