(How's that for a compliment?) When you sleep, don't dream of me I don't wanna break your heart till I'm breakin' free When I get out, I'm gonna run with ya We're gonna make our way to America Yeah, I can't leave you now Yeah, I got nowhere to go anyhow Ten long years I spent in the Sun Where I broke my back to avoid the gun But I never cracked, I never gave you up I just did my time for you They can call me public enemy Brand my skin for treachery What they long to have, they can't take away from me My hope is growing by the power of love The highest wall that they erect is not a prison enough And like the river that is winding takes its water to sea The only ending that is fitting is you and me, baby Yeah, I can't leave you now Yeah, I got nowhere to go anyhow When you sleep, don't dream of me I don't wanna break your heart till I'm breakin' free When I get out, I'm gonna run with ya We're gonna make our way to America-ca-ca
