Prison Grove Lyrics

Prison Grove lyrics

written by Warren Zevon & Jorge Calderón



An icy wind burns and scars

Rushes in like a fallen star

Through the narrow space

Between these bars

Looking down on Prison Grove



Dug in, hunkered down

Hours race without a sound

Gonna carry me to where I'm bound

Looking down on Prison Grove



Iron will hard as rock

Hold me up for the fateful knock

When they walk me down in a mortal lock

Out on Prison Grove



Shine on all these broken lives 

Shine on 

Shine the light on me 



Knick Knack Paddy Wack 

They say you'll hear your own bones crack 

When they bend you back to bible black 

Then you'll find your love 



Some folks have to die too hard

Some folks have to cry too hard

Take one last look at the prison yard

Goodbye Prison Grove



Shine on all these broken lives

Shine on

Shine the light on me
