These prison walls keep me from leaving  There's no escape I'm not strong enough  I was condemned the night the  Devil came soul stealin'  The day I lost my one true love  These prison walls are built of sorrow  These prison bars are built of pain  My prison cell is always with me  I live in hell, I've gone insane  This prison is my very own invention  Nobody sees the barbed wire but me  I think that they're just no paying attention  I pray she comes back home and sets me free  The prison guards, laugh at my heartache  The say there';s no chance for parole  I tried so hard, but these bars they will not break  She took my heart, Scratch took my soul  What kind of stones are these walls made of  If I am guilty what was my crime  I love her so what was she afraid of  Forever more I'll do my time  These prison walls keep me from leaving  These prison bars harder than steel  She's got her own prison walls and  They're concealing  The love that she will never feel.
