No Prison Bars Lyrics

Sitting in this cell we're s'posed to hang in the morn

They got a rope hung for each of our necks right out there

They say we'll swing 'til we're dead n' just as sure as we're born

The town'll watch us wriggle an' they'll cheer in the square

Though we're surrounded by the darkness I can see the light

Between the bars up above we see our way to get loose

The morning sun should mean our death but lord it shines so bright

we smile 'cause we won't be at the end of a noose

Don't get us wrong just now we're not afraid to die

Trapped by these bars of steel an' these walls of brown

This stick a dynamite is telling us it just ain't our time

Just like the walls of Jericho they'll come crumblin' down

No Prison bars can hold us, men can try and shoot us down

We'll leave 'em lyin' in their graves and make our way right outta town

Riding for the sunrise there's one thing that you can trust

If you're gonna try n' stop us you'll be face down in the dust

No Prison bars can hold us, men can try and shoot us down

We'll leave 'em lyin' in their graves and make our way right outta town

Riding for the sunrise there's one thing that you can trust

If you're gonna try n' stop us you'll be face down in the dust
