about

The Prison Music Project and Ani DiFranco

lyrics

been down sidewinder valley
been down dead man’s alley
I slipped down b hill
in the heart of town
been locked up so long
my head spins around

because I been nowhere but barstow and prison
but that was my bad decision
nineteen years of steamin’
thirteen years of screamin’
I been nowhere but barstow and prison

in a ghost town near daggett
is a prison built by maggots
there’s no sweet dessert seas
there’s no sweet summer breeze
there’s just men like me

because I been nowhere but barstow and prison
but that was my bad decision
nineteen years of steamin’
thirteen years of screamin’
I been nowhere but barstow and prison

I miss soft, dry, river bottom sands
I miss the back and forth sway
on my way to distant lands
but I’m so far from that now

because I been nowhere but barstow and prison
but that was my bad decision
nineteen years of steamin’
thirteen years of screamin’
I been nowhere but barstow and prison
