Album: Defender
(Rory Gallagher) I'm breaking rocks and I'm doing time She's on the streets with a friend of mine I drove the car I took the fall I walk the cell at night I cry 'til dawn At night I cry 'til dawn The days are long but time will pass I'm breaking out I soon will get my change
I'm in my cell it's ten by nine She's living it up on champagne and wine I took the rap I have to smile Time drags by but I'll get loose after a while Get loose after a while Deep in the night just like a child
I walk the cell my mind is running wild
I'm going numb from too much waiting Until my dying day I'll suffocate from too much hating There'll be hell to pay
I'm gonna rot from too much waiting 'Til my dying day My soul is bruised my heart is shaking There'll be hell to pay
I'm digging ditches I'm breaking stones Sewing mailbags it ain't no fun Bread and water my life is complete Hold my breath 'til I'm back out on the streets Back out on the streets
Revenge is sweet or so they say Just watch your steps I'm breaking out today Revenge is sweet or so they say Just watch your steps I'm breaking out today
