| Ten long years I spent in the sun
|
| Where I broke my back to avoid the gun
|
| But I never cracked and never gave you up
|
| I just did my time for you
|
| Yeah, I can’t leave you now
|
| Yeah, I got nowhere to go anyhow
|
| (How's that for a compliment girl?
|
| How’s that for a compliment?)
|
| When you sleep, don’t dream of me
|
| I don’t want to break your heart 'til I’m breaking free
|
| When I get out I’m gonna run with ya
|
| We’re gonna make our way to America
|
| Yeah, I can’t leave you now
|
| Yeah, I got nowhere to go anyhow
|
| Ten long years I spent in the sun
|
| (Yeah)
|
| Where I broke my back to avoid the gun
|
| (I can’t leave you now)
|
| But I never cracked and I never gave you up
|
| (Yeah)
|
| I just did my time for you
|
| (I got nowhere to go anyhow)
|
| They can call me public enemy
|
| Brand my skin for treachery
|
| What they long to have
|
| They can’t take away from me
|
| My hope is going by the power of love
|
| The highest wall that they erect is not a prison enough
|
| And like a river that is running takes it water to sea
|
| The only ending that is fitting is you and me baby
|
| Yeah, I can’t leave you now
|
| Yeah, I got nowhere to go anyhow
|
| When you sleep, don’t dream of me
|
| (Yeah)
|
| I don’t want to break your heart 'til I’m breaking free
|
| (I can’t leave you now)
|
| When I get out I’m gonna run with ya
|
| (Yeah)
|
| We’re gonna make our way to America
|
