Prison Walls Lyrics - Singles - Angry Johnny And The Killbillies

These prison walls keep me from leaving 

There's no escape I'm not strong enough 

I was condemned the night the 

devil came soul stealin' 

The day I lost my one true love 

These prison walls are built of sorrow 

These prison bars are built of pain 

My prison cell is always with me 

I live in hell, I've gone insane 

This prison is my very own invention 

Nobody sees the barbed wire but me 

I think that they're just no paying attention 

I pray she comes back home and sets me free 

The prison guards, laugh at my heartache 

The say there';s no chance for parole 

I tried so hard, but these bars they will not break 

She took my heart, Scratch took my soul 

What kind of stones are these walls made of 

If I am guilty what was my crime 

I love her so what was she afraid of 

Forever more I'll do my time 

These prison walls keep me from leaving 

These prison bars harder than steel 

She's got her own prison walls and 

they're concealing 

The love that she will never feel.
