[Verse 1]

There was a friend of mine on murder

And the judge's gavel fell

Jury found him guilty

Gave him sixteen years in hell

He said, "I ain't spendin' my life here

I ain't livin' alone

Ain't breakin' no rocks on the chain gang

I'm breakin' out and headin' home"

Gonna make a jailbreak

And I'm lookin' towards the sky

I'm gonna make a jailbreak

Oh, how I wish that I could fly

[Pre-Chorus]

All in the name of liberty

All in the name of liberty

Got to be free

[Chorus]

Jailbreak

Let me outta here

Jailbreak

Sixteen years, ah, mm

Jailbreak

Had more than I can take

Jailbreak

Yeah

[Verse 2]

He said he'd seen his lady bein' fooled with

By another man

She was down and he was up

Had a gun in his hand

Ah, the bullets started flyin' everywhere

People start to scream

Big man lyin' on the ground

With a hole in his body where his life had been

[Pre-Chorus]

But it was all in the name of liberty

All in the name of liberty

I got to be free

[Chorus]

Jailbreak

Jailbreak, I got to break out

Out of here

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Heartbeats, they were racin'

Freedom, he was chasin'

Spotlights, sirens

Rifles firin'

But he made it out

With a bullet in his back

[Chorus]

Jailbreak

Jailbreak

Jailbreak

Jailbreak (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)

Jailbreak

Jailbreak

Jailbreak

Jailbreak

Jailbreak

Jailbreak
