I was high and dry like the Kansas sky 
If I ached for any more I knew I`d surely die 
Night after night trying to get out of my skin 
Day after lonely day 
You`d 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 can`t 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 
I`ll just keep on drivin` 
And time`s 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 can`t 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 
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 can`t break away
