Kameron Marlowe Lock Me Up

AlphabetLyrics.com

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.

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.

No, I ain't trying to run
Ol' red can get some sleep
I'm just fine doing my time
Behind these old pine trees
Shackle and chain me
When I go lay me
Right here six feet deep.

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
Yeah, and throw away the key
Away the key.

Lock me up, lock me up
Lock me up in a small town
Lock me up in a small town.

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
Yeah, and throw away the key
Yeah, throw away the key.
