I was high and dry Like the Kansas sky If I ached for any more I knew Id surely die Night after night Trying to get out of my skin Day after lonely day Youd send me back again I have stood inside this prison I have touched its stony walls I know before you try to run You gotta learn to crawl I tried to leave it all behind me I drove all night Just to drive all day But the walls of this prison Still surround me And I cant break away I held you so close I thought my soul would break But you were just a ghost The holiest mistake I will not be a judge Or the one to set you free Ill just keep on drivin And times a friend to me I have stood inside this prison I have touched its stony walls I know before you try to run You gotta learn to crawl I tried to leave it all behind me I drove all night I drove all day But the walls of this prison Still surround me And I cant break away The sentence has been read Everything is done I wish I could say goodbye to you Wish I could hold the sun My eyes are dull and burnt And they lie to me sometimes Cause I thought I saw you cryin I have stood inside this prison I have touched its stony walls I know before you try to run You gotta learn to crawl Oh... I tried to leave it all behind me In my dreams somehow I got away But the walls of this prison Still surround me And I cant break away
