I'll Break Out Again Tonight Lyrics - Merle Haggard

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 dreamin' 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 dreamin' 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 

And I'll break out again tonight
