A rock is my pillow, a cell is my house
My only companion a little black mouse
Days are hot and nights are cold
My body is broken, but my soul can't be sold

For telling the truth, I was caught by the law
But if she waits for me, I can't ask for more
In the dark of the night, I get on my knees
There are chains on my ankles, but my spirit is free

I may be reckless, but I committed no crime
Still, I'm locked in, doing my time
The jury said things I never did
But I'm standing strong, tell my wife and kids

Judges and lawyers, they don't understand
Struggles and dreams of a simple man
Through these bars, I see the sunray
Gives me memories and hope of better days
I may be reckless, but I committed no crime
Still, I'm locked in, doing my time
The jury said things I never did
But I'm standing strong, tell my wife and kids
