Tell the warden
I won't be in for too long
Tell the driver
I'll be down around dawn
I'm gonna tie up the bed sheets
Sharpen the shiv
This iron city is no place to live
Hell or high water, I'm leaving this place alive
Tell the governor
I don't need his pardoning
Tell the others
Oh they already know it's happening
I'm gonna tie up the bed sheets
Sharpen the shiv
This iron city is no place to live
Hell or high water, I'm leaving this place alive
I'm leaving this iron city
I'm leaving this iron city
I'm leaving this iron city
I'm leaving this iron city
