Verse 1

C
Slowly the long day turns to night
                                     G7
And soon they'll turn out the prison lights

Verse 2

But in my cell I'm making plans
                       C
To be with you at home again

Verse 3

                                           G7
These walls and bars can't hold a dreaming man
                                   C
So I'll be home to tuck the babies in
                                  G7
They can chain my body but not my mind
                         C
And I'll break out again tonight

Verse 4

The warden thinks I'm in for life
                                    G7
Cause all he's ever seen me wear is stripes

Verse 5

He don't know bout my blue suit and my tie
                                   C
That I wear when I'm with you each night

Verse 6

                                           G7
These walls and bars can't hold a dreaming man
                                   C
So I'll be home to tuck the babies in
                                  G7
They can chain my body but not my mind
                         C
And I'll break out again tonight
