Prison Walls Lyrics - 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
