Slowly, the long day turns to night
And soon they'll switch off the prison lights
But in my cell I'm making plans
To be at home with you again

These walls and bars can't hold a dreaming man
So I'll be home to tuck the babies in
They can chain my body but not my mind
And I'll break out again tonight

The warden thinks I'm in for life
All he's ever seen me wear are stripes
He don't know about my blue suit and my tie
That I wear when I am with you each night

These walls and bars can't hold a dreaming man
So I'll be home to tuck the babies in
They can chain my body but not my mind
And I'll break out again tonight
And I'll break out again tonight
