De Regreso Al Penal

He opened the cell
Looked ahead
Saw his freedom

What he longed for
What he dreamed of most
Was being home

Left the guitar
Inside his cell
He didn’t want to play

He just wanted to get home
He couldn’t take it anymore

He hopped on a bus
That stopped at the corner
Near the pen

And while the driver checked the ticket
He said, "Go on in"

And he sat down
And it felt like
He was flying

And when he arrived
He never thought
He couldn’t imagine

That he would find
His friend and his love
In his bed

And this is a shovel! Shovel! Wide shovel!

He killed his wife
And his best friend
And he started to cry

And walking
All covered in blood
He returned to the pen

The cell opened
And he walked in with his head down
He didn’t want to talk

About what happened
About what went down
With the guys in the pen

He lit a joint
Grabbed his guitar
And started to sing

I loved her with all my life
Now she’s gone

And he sat down
And it felt like
He was flying

And when he arrived
He never thought
He couldn’t imagine

And he killed them
Didn’t ask why
Because they were cheating on him

And he surrendered
Left all alone
He had nothing left

And he sat down
And it felt like
He was flying

And when he arrived
He never thought
He couldn’t imagine

That being in prison
Chilled the passion
Of the one he loved

And he sat down
And it felt like
He was flying

And when he arrived
He never thought
He couldn’t imagine

And he killed them
Didn’t ask why
Because they were cheating on him

And he surrendered
Left all alone
He had nothing left

And he sat down
And it felt like
He was flying

And when he arrived
He never thought
He couldn’t imagine

That being in prison
Chilled the passion
Of the one he loved
