Chords
[Intro]
EThere was a friend of mine on murder
And the judge's gavel fell
Jury found him guilty
Gave him sixteen years in hell
[Verse 1]
He saidE "I ain't spending my life here
I ain't living alone
Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang
I'm breakin' out and headin' home"
Gonna make a jailbreak
And I'm lookin' towards the sky
I'm gonna make a jailbreak
Oh, how I wish that I could fly
[Pre-Chorus]

Jailbreak, had more than I can take
Jailbreak, yeah
[Verse 2]
He said he'dE seen his lady being fooled with
By another man
She was down and he was up
Had a gun in his hand
Bullets started flying everywhere
And people started to scream
Big man lying on the ground
With a hole in his body
Where his life had been
