Slowly the long day turns to night
And soon they'll turn out prison lights
But in my cell I'm making plans
To be at home with you again
These walls and bars
Can't hold a dreaming man
So I'll be home to tuck
The babies in
They can chain my body
Not my mind
So 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 about my blue suit and my tie
That I'll wear when I'm with you each night
These walls and bars
Can't hold a dreaming man
So I'll be home to tuck
The babies in
They can chain my body
Not my mind
So I'll break out again tonight
They can chain my body
Not my mind
So I'll break out again tonight
