CHS 
I’M LIVING IN A JAILHOUSE, A JAILHOUSE, A JAILHOUSE IT’S TRUE 
A JAILHOUSE, A JAILHOUSE, SERVING TIME WITH YOU 
DEEP, DARK DUNGEON WITH THE GREYSTONE WALLS, THAT’S HOW IT FEELS TO ME 
A JAILHOUSE, A JAILHOUSE, SHE THREW AWAY THE KEY 
WELL I’D RATHER BE BUSTING ROCKS, IN THAT FEDERAL PEN 
THAN TO BE LOCKED UP WITH YOUR COLD, LOW DOWN HEART 
WHAT A SHAPE I’M IN 
I’VE BEEN SENTENCED TO LIFE FOR THE CRIME OF LOVING YOU 
NO PAROLE OR PARDON COULD SET ME FREE WHEN YOU FEEL THE WAY I DO 
CHS 
CUZ’ I’M LIVING IN A JAILHOUSE, A JAILHOUSE, JAILHOUSE IT’S TRUE 
A JAILHOUSE, A JAILHOUSE, SERVING TIME WITH YOU 
DEEP, DARK DUNGEON WITH THE GREYSTONE WALLS, THAT’S HOW IT FEELS TO ME 
A JAILHOUSE, A JAILHOUSE, SHE THREW AWAY THE KEY 
(SOLO) 
WELL YOU TELL ME I AIN’T NOTHING, EXCEPT YOUR BALL AND CHAIN 
AND YOU’VE BEEN TANGLED IN A WEB OF SORROW, SINCE THE DAY YOU CHANGED YOUR NAME 
WELL MAYBE BABY, IT’S ABOUT TIME, FOR ME TO MAKE THAT BIG ESCAPE 
GET THE JUDGE AND JURY TO CUT ME LOOSE, TAKE A HARD LOOK AT MY CASE 
CHS 
CUZ’ I’M LIVING IN A JAILHOUSE, A JAILHOUSE, A JAILHOUSE IT’S TRUE 
JAILHOUSE, A JAILHOUSE, SERVING TIME WITH YOU 
DEEP, DARK DUNGEON WITH THE GREYSTONE WALLS, THAT’S HOW IT FEELS TO ME 
JAILHOUSE, A JAILHOUSE SHE THREW AWAY THE KEY 
SHE THREW AWAY THE KEY 
SHE THREW AWAY THE KEY
