(ª casa) (intro) (verse 1) Well I’m Goin’ to a place where the tough guys go and come out even tougher. A place where a man don’t show his feelings a place where a man don’t cry. Well they say I’m being punished and they say I can be reformed but someday I’ll Return. Did they really think that this time it’d work? You knew all along it wouldn’t! Oh I’m prison bound I did a crime one too many times. It’s on the outskirts of town by the railroad tracks where the country moon shines. Oh I’m prison bound tell my girl I’ll be back one day. Oh I’m prison bound I may never know any other any other way. any other way.                    (verse 2) Well they take away my freedom of expression and action but Johnny says I walk the line. With three hots and a cot and allot of talk that locks up concrete and steel Well it’s cold and it’s clammy and it’s colder than a pimp’s heart but I’ve gotta do my time. There’s a lesson to be learned here but what a price to pay you know I may never learn. (Chorus 2x) Oh I’m prison bound I did a crime one too many times It’s on the outskirts of town by the railroad tracks where the country moon shines. Oh I’m prison bound tell my girl I’ll be back one day. Oh I’m prison bound I may never know any other any other way. Any other way.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le parcours d'un homme qui se retrouve dans un système pénal après avoir commis des erreurs. Il parle d'un endroit où la virilité prédomine, où l'on cache ses émotions et où les vrais sentiments sont étouffés. Malgré les promesses de rédemption, il semble conscient que ses actions le mènent inévitablement vers une répétition de ses échecs. Le contexte de cette histoire se déroule dans un cadre difficile, à la limite de la société, près des voies ferrées, symbole de solitude et d'isolement. Il se sent enfermé non seulement physiquement, mais aussi émotionnellement, et comprend qu'il devra acquitter sa dette à la société tout en réalisant les leçons difficiles que cela implique.
