paroles de chanson Stone Walls - Jim Croce

It′s been too many years
Inside this prison
Too many years just for
One little fight
He got what was comin'
And I think I′ve served enough time
I'm goin' home tonight

That stone looks mighty cold
And the guard that walks that wall
Is just waitin′ to get a
Convict in his sights
But if I can clear the top
You can bet I′ll never stop
'Cause I′m goin' home tonight

Because stone walls do a prison
Make iron bars a cage
Any man who says they don′t
Never been inside
'Cause in time the bars get closer
And at night the walls grow tighter
Do you feel like there′s a
Shackle around your mind

Now those guards are on my tail
I can hear those sirens wail
But I know that I'll get away
And that I'll be alright
′Cause I′d rather live on the run
Stand free in the morning sun
Then to spend another
Lonely prison night

Because stone walls do a prison
Make iron bars a cage
Any man who says they don't
Never been inside
′Cause in time the bars get closer
And at night the walls grow tighter
Do you feel like there's a
Shackle around your mind
