There was a friend of mine on murder
And the judges
gavel fell
Jury found him guilty
Gave him sixteen
years in hell
He said "I aint spending my life
here
I aint living alone
Ain't breaking no
rocks on the chain gang
Im breakin' out and
headin' home
Gonna make a jailbreak
And
Im lookin' towards the sky
Im gonna make a
jailbreak
Oh, how I wish that I could fly
All in
the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
Got to
be free
Jailbreak, let me out of here
Jailbreak,
sixteen years
Jailbreak, had more than I can take
Jailbreak, yeah"
He said he'd seen his lady
being fooled with
By another man
She was down and he
was up
He 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
But it was -
All in the name of
liberty
All in the name of liberty
I got to be free
Jailbreak, jailbreak
I got to break out
Out of
here
Heartbeats they were racin'
Freedom he
was chasin'
Spotlights, sirens, rifles firing
But
he made it out
With a bullet in his back
