Inside Looking Out

I'm sitting here lonely like a broken man
I serve my time doin' the best I can
Walls and bars they surround me
But, I don't want no sympathy
No baby, no baby
All I need is some tender lovin'
To keep me sane in this burning oven
And, when my time is up, you'll be my reefer
Life gets worse on God's green earth
Be my reefer, got to keep smokin' that thing
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I said now baby baby let me smoke it smoke it
Makes me feel good feel good, yes, I feel good ah
Yes, I feel alright feel alright yes, I feel alright feel alright
Yes, I feel alright ah
Oh
Ice cold water is runnin' through my veins
They try and drag me back to work again
Pain and blisters on my mind and hands
I work all day making up burlap bags
The oats they're feeding me are driving me wild
I feel unhappy like a new born child
Now, when my time is up, you wait and see
These walls and bars won't keep that stuff from me
No, no, baby
Won't keep that stuff from me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I need you right now mama
I need you right now baby
Right by my side, honey
All night long
Make me feel alright
Yes, all yes, all yes, all alright
You better come on up and get down with me
I'll make you feel real good, just you wait and see
Make me feel alright yes, I feel alright
Yes, all yes, all yes, alright
