Well I'm Goin' to a place where the tough guys go, and come out even tougher.
 
          C                 G                  Am             G    F
A place where a man don't show his feelings, a place where a man don't cry.
 
          C                         G                                Am
Well they say I'm being punished and they say I can be reformed, but someday

I'll Return.
 
          C                  G                  Am       G
Did they really think that this time it'd work? You knew all along it 
 
F
wouldn't!
 
 
Chorus:
C       G                     Am        G        F
Oh, I'm prison bound, I did a crime one too many times.

It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks, where the country
 
G    F
moon shines.
 
C       G                     Am        G            F
Oh, I'm prison bound, tell my girl I'll be back one day.
 
C       G                     Am        G        F
Oh, I'm prison bound, I may never know any other, any other way.
 
C          G       Am     G      F
any other way.
 
 
Verse 2:
         C                         G                          Am
Well they take away my freedom of expression and action, but Johnny says I
 
G        F
walk the line.
 
         C                         G                  Am       G         F
With three hots and a cot, and allot of talk that locks up concrete and steel
 
         C                                G
Well it's cold and it's clammy, and it's colder than a pimp's heart, but I've
 
Am    G     F
gotta do my time.
 
         C                         G                               Am
There's a lesson to be learned here, but what a price to pay, you know, I may
 
G      F
never learn.
 
 
Chorus: (Play 2x more)
 
C       G                     Am        G        F
Oh, I'm prison bound, I did a crime one too many times
 
C                                     G                          Am
It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks, where the country
 
G    F
moon shines.
 
C       G                     Am        G            F
Oh, I'm prison bound, tell my girl I'll be back one day.
 
C       G                     Am        G        F
Oh, I'm prison bound, I may never know any other, any other way.
 
C          G       Am     G      F
Any other way.
