Jailbreak (Live)

There was a friend of mine on murder
And the judge's gavel fell, yeah
Jury found him guilty
Gave him sixteen years in hell

He said, "I ain't spending my life here."
I ain't livin' alone
Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang
I'm breakin' out and headin' home

Gonna make a jailbreak
But I'm lookin' towards the sky
Gonna make a jailbreak
Man, I wish that I could fly

It's all in the name of liberty
Well, it was all in the name of liberty
Got to be free

Jailbreak, had more than I can take
Jailbreak, sixteen years
Jailbreak, you better get me outta here
Jailbreak, yeah

He said he'd seen his woman being fooled with
By another man
She was down, and he was up
He had a gun in his hand
And the bullets started flying everywhere
And people started to scream
There was a 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
Yes it was all in the name of liberty, yeah, yeah
You just got to be free
Jailbreak
Jailbreak

Heartbeats, they were racin'
Freedom, he was chasin'
Spotlights, sirens, rifles firin'
But he made it out
With a bullet in his back

Jailbreak, had more than I can take
Jailbreak, sixteen years I had
Jailbreak, get me outta here
Jailbreak, sixteen years
Jailbreak, oh, oh, yeah
Jailbreak, you gotta get me free
Jailbreak, oh I've had more than I can take
Jailbreak, yeah
