Lock Me Up lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's barbwire all around it, gates close after dark
Sun sets behind the towers, sometimes the times are hard
I’ve seen people make it out, I've seen a few come back and visit
Well, I've heard it called everything from hell to hometown prison
Well, hell, if this is prison

[Chorus]
Sentence me to life out here like them boys in Alcatraz
I’ll wear my last namе like a number on my back
Handcuff me to my roots, no, don't еver set me free
Lock me up in a small town, and throw away the key

[Verse 2]
No, I ain't tryin' to run, Ol' Red can get some sleep
I'm just fine doin' my time behind these old pine trees
Shackle and chain me
When I go, lay me, right here six feet deep

[Chorus]
Sentence me to life out here like them boys in Alcatraz
I'll wear my last name like a number on my back
Handcuff me to my roots, no, don’t ever set me free
Lock me up in a small town, and throw away the key
Away the key
[Bridge]
Lock me up, lock me up
Lock me up in a small town
Lock me up in a small town

[Chorus]
Sentence me to life out here like them boys in Alcatraz
And I’ll wear my last name like a number on my back
Handcuff me to my roots, no, don't ever set me free
Lock me up in a small town, and throw away the key
Yeah, throw away the key
