Lyrics

I've been in here so long I forgot what I did wrong
Just a kid when they put me here inside
I don't have long to live and lord what I would give
Mhm just to walk on the outside
Phones weren't even in, when they put me in this pin
And dad told me..he-he..planes would never fly
There's a lot I've never seen except here on this sceen
Lord give me a walk on the outside

Now lord I'm not complainin' but I've walked at least a million miles behind these walls
I'd just like to see what's on this other side...that's all
There's a lot I've never seen..
There's a lot I've never seen..
