Marty Stuart - Walls Of A Prison Lyrics

  • Written by Johnny Cash
  • I walked through the big yard, to feel the warm sunshine
  • A ninety-nine year man, stepped over to me
  • He offered a smoke, and said as I rolled it
  • Tomorrow I'm goin', to break out and go free
  • They feed us by sunlight, they watch us by spotlight
  • But I know a way that a man can go free
  • Down under my cell, I'm diggin' a tunnel
  • The walls of a prison can never hold me
  • I told him that I'd have no part of his scheming
  • My time would be up, one year from today
  • His eyes blazed with fire, and he looked right through me
  • Bitter, but broken, again he did say
  • They feed us by sunlight, they watch us by spotlight
  • But I know a way that a man can go free
  • Down under my cell, I'm diggin' a tunnel
  • The walls of a prison can never hold me
  • Next morning at breakfast, the old man was missing
  • Then we all heard the rifles high up on the wall
  • He'd gone through the tunnel, just like he had promised
  • And they said he was crying, when they saw him fall
  • They feed us by sunlight, they watch us by spotlight
  • But I know a way that a man can go free
  • Down under my cell, I'm diggin' a tunnel
  • The walls of a prison can never hold me
