There's an open door Callin' to me I just can't ignore Wakin' up I realize Bars of steel to keep me inside Justice has done me wrong Guilty for crime Will age me so long Understand that it's more than too late Where's the lucky dog Who used me for the bait I'm falling over the edge Yeah, I guess he was pretty smart Left me in the street with my gun in the dark Murder, well I tried to prevent Instead up the river is how my time is spent I think I'm over the edge I've been doin' time Tired of doin' time Over the edge I can't take more of this cell So don't be alarmed When you hear this prisoner yell Far away Far away Never too far away From the truth But where's the fairness What's a harmless man to do But see it through Though I'm trapped in this death bringing doom Words of hope There ain't no place For this forgotten face I take my chances Now I know I'm over the edge Over the edge Get me out Get me out Over the edge I'm tiredI'm tired I'm tired of doin' time Over the edge
