Inmate 254, just another number on C Block

6 a.m., tray's on the floor, feeding me bologna and sheetrock

Counting down them days till the sun shines on my face

Break away

Got an old lady who lays me down crazy, she'll be waiting in the parking lot

A few more days on good behavior, gonna give her everything I got

Counting down the days till the sun shines on my face

I break away

I'm busting out this coffin and I'm breaking out the chains

Can't hold me down for nothing, they can't keep me in a cage

Break away

Break away

I'll break away

Break away

Celly hit the buzzer, took off my number, and they gave me back my boots

Stepped outside looking for my ride, no sign of a you-know-who

Changed the locks on the single-wide, that ain't my truck outside

I'll break away

I'm busting out this coffin and I'm breaking out the chains

Can't hold me down for nothing, they can't keep me in a cage

I'll break away

Break away

I'll break away

Break away

I'd go home to Mama, but she don't want the drama, and I really don't blame her much

Just a lifer on the road, going where it goes, don't know where it's ending up

Only thing I know is true, all I was born to do is to break away

I'll break away, I'll break away

I'll break away, I'll break away

I'll break away

Break away

I'll break away

Break away

I'll break away
