My Own Jail

I built up my own jail
Build it all by myself
No, I didn't need
Help from nobody else

I hammered every nail
When I built my own jail

I put up all the bars
I poured all the cement
You wouldn't believe
The time I spent

Now I can't afford bail
And here I built my own jail

I'm the only prisoner here
And I'm the warden too
And I'm pretty hard on me
'Cause that's what wardens do

I built my own hell
When I built my own jail

I've put on my ball and chain
I sewed up my own stripes
And every day
Chain's just getting more tight

Lord, help me from my own self
I built my own jail
Lord, help me from my own self
I built my own jail
