I've taken a hit or two
I've given quite a few
I swing my fists and the cities all fall
I've broken a law or two
Reckon I only missed a few
I watch these long days pass
Through the bars I curse the brass
I've had a cracked rib or two
I guess I've busted more
I've laid a couple out on the cooling board
Sometimes you walk the line
And sometimes it walks you
You get quick to anger
Quick to put a knife up
To another man's throat
I cannot still
The hell that's in these hands
When they came to take me in
Didn't try to fight, just let them win
Woah, woah, woah
A man died in my cell
Damn, the guards sure gave me hell
Woah, woah, woah
I'd love to see them horsemen ride
So law and order stand aside
Woah, woah, woah
Oh, this woman and gin, woman and gin
Go together like the devil and sin
Her hair is like wheat
Her lips are like wine
Gonna meet her at the end
Of the county line
Jailbreak!
Jailbreak tonight!
Bring on the floodlights!
[Call and Response]
Singer: Boys!
Crowd: Yea!
Singer: Fetch the shovels
Singer: Boys!
Crowd: Yea!
Singer: Post the lookout
Singer: Coppers, you'll never catch us!
Crowd: That's right!
Singer: Ladies, we're comin' home tonight
'Cuz in a few more yards we'll reach the line
And meet up with a friend of mine
The dogs are coming swift and mean
But I'm hungrier than they have ever been
Jailbreak!
Jailbreak tonight!
Bring on the floodlights!

0General Comment:They said in concert, quite simply, that it's about a jailbreak. So it's pretty literal.Flag prayingmantis84on May 23, 2006 Link
