Twilight has blanketed old country jail
The prisoners ain\'t sleeping, they\'re quietly waiting
And counting the days till the door is swung wide
And summertime welcomes them home
REFRAIN
Go down you broken old shell of a man
Down where the young river rolls
The cage that has sprung you has robbed you of sight
And you are still caught in the night
To keep all our children from going to crime
We\'ll lock them in schoolrooms and structure their time
And we\'ll give them their freedom when lessons are learned
So life will not lead them astray
