Dead Horse Creek - No Prison Bars Lyrics

Sitting in this cell we're s'posed to hang in the morn
They got a rope hung for each of our necks right out there
They say we'll swing 'til we're dead n' just as sure as we're born
The town'll watch us wriggle an' they'll cheer in the square

Though we're surrounded by the darkness I can see the light
Between the bars up above we see our way to get loose
The morning sun should mean our death but lord it shines so bright
We smile 'cause we won't be at the end of a noose

Don't get us wrong just now we're not afraid to die
Trapped by these bars of steel an' these walls of brown
This stick a dynamite is telling us it just ain't our time
Just like the walls of Jericho they'll come crumblin' down

No Prison bars can hold us, men can try and shoot us down
We'll leave 'em lyin' in their graves and make our way right outta town
Riding for the sunrise there's one thing that you can trust
If you're gonna try n' stop us you'll be face down in the dust
