(intro) C G Am G F 

(verse 1) 
          C                         G                  Am       G    F 
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 
G     F 
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! 
 
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.
 

(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 2x) 
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.
