Prison With No Bars
Drew James © 2004
 
Sweet, sweet baby
I really love you so
But sometimes
I just don’t let it show
I could be the man you need
If these bad habits would just let me be
 
Wish there was someone
That I could blame
But I’m the dealer
In my losing game
With each new hand I sit and stare
But I’ll be damned if I can make a pair
 
Oh, I know I’ve kept you waiting
There’s no anticipating my next move
It’s been a constant struggle
And this hole I dug will leave me sad and blue
But I’m tossing in my cards
‘Cause life’s become a prison with no bars
 
My knees went weak
Beneath a neon sign
My throat went dry
And my eyes went blind
In this dive where the pool balls roll
I’ll bury my pride and my self-control
 
(Chorus)
I’ve tried and tried so hard
But it’s all come apart
Because my life became a prison with no bars
 
Sweet, sweet baby
I really love you so
Sweet, sweet baby
I really love you so
