Lyrics

There was a friend of mine on murder
And the judge's gavel fell
Jury found him guilty
Gave him sixteen years in hell
He said, "I ain't spendin' my life here
I ain't livin' alone
Ain't breakin' no rocks on the chain gang
I'm breakin' out and headin' home"
Gonna make a jailbreak
And I'm lookin' towards the sky
I'm gonna make a jailbreak
Oh, how I wish that I could fly
All in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
Got to be free
Jailbreak
Let me outta here
Jailbreak
Sixteen years
Jailbreak
Had more than I can take
Jailbreak
Yeah
He said he'd seen his lady bein' fooled with
By another man
She was down and he was up
Had a gun in his hand
Ah, the bullets started flyin' everywhere
People start to scream
Big man lyin' on the ground
With a hole in his body where his life had been
But it was all in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
I got to be free
Jailbreak
Jailbreak, I got to break out
Out of here
Heartbeats, they were racin'
Freedom, he was chasin'
Spotlights, sirens
Rifles firin'
But he made it out
With a bullet in his back
Jailbreak
Jailbreak
Jailbreak
Jailbreak (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Jailbreak
Jailbreak
Jailbreak
Jailbreak
Jailbreak
Jailbreak
