Please Don't Let Me Out

please don`t let me out

johnny cash

I've been in jail eleven years

and parole has just come through

The gates will soon swing open wide

but I'm not going through

Jail's the only home I know

or care to know about

Please let me stay where I belong

please don't let me out

How could I tell those friends of mine

they've seen the last of me?

Can't I make you understand

I never can be free?

'Cause that's a big unfriendly world

and I don't know the route

That leads to where I may belong,

please don't let me out

I had to learn to get along

without a lot of things

And I had to learn to live

with the loneliness confinement brings

And I learnt to take no mail from home

or whatever came about

Now I'm dug in and I'm happy here,

please don't let me out

How could I tell those friends of mine

they've seen the last of me?

Can't I make you understand

I never can be free?

'Cause that's a big unfriendly world

and I don't know the route

That leads to where I may belong

please don't let me out

Yes, that's a big unfriendly world

and I don't know the route

That leads to where I may belong,

please don't let me out
