And the walls keep growin' higher in your prison
And the sky is just a distant memory
And you check your pulse to see if you're still livin'
And you know this ain't the way it's supposed to be
Well, you can walk out of here anytime that you want
You can run out of here anytime that you want
Breakin' out of prison, baby, breakin' out of prison, girl
Breakin' out of prison, baby, breakin' out of prison, girl
Breakin' out of prison, baby, breakin' out of prison, girl
I know you can, I know you can
And you make it sound so hard but I'll tell you something
You're punishing yourself and that's the truth
You can walk right out of here, nobody's stoppin' you
You can walk right out of here and bust loose
Well, you can walk out of here anytime that you want
You can run out of here anytime that you want
Breakin' out of prison, baby, breakin' out of prison, girl
Breakin' out of prison, baby, breakin' out of prison, girl
Breakin' out of prison, baby, breakin' out of prison, girl
I know you can, I know you can
And you wish some wild animal would attack you
(You can walk out of here anytime that you want)
And leave a few scars here and there for posterity
(You can run out of here anytime that you want)
But the wildest thing in your life is a cup of coffee
(You can walk out of here anytime that you want)
Well, this ain't the way, the way it has to be
Well, you can walk out of here anytime that you want
You can run out of here anytime that you want
Breaking out of prison, baby, breaking out of prison, girl
Breaking out of prison, baby, breaking out of prison, girl
Breaking out of prison, baby, breaking out of prison, girl
(We're gonna break on through)
Breaking out of prison, baby, breaking out of prison, girl
(I won't tell)
Breaking out of prison, baby, breaking out of prison, girl
[?]
Breaking out of prison, baby, breaking out of prison, girl
(You can walk and you can run)
