[Verse 1]
I grew up here inside these walls
They'll never let me free
'Cause once when I was three days past eighteen
I took a life that threatened me
That was twenty-five ago
But they say I'm still the same
Second chances should be left to God
And I only have myself to blame
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't forget that night
It'll be at my side 'til the day I die
[Chorus]
I've owned up the best I can
God knows I'm a better man
Than the reckless kid that walked in twenty-five ago
And I don't know another life
I grew up here on the inside
And I cannot wait to stretch my legs when my father calls
And I walk out of this place
[Verse 2]
I grew up here inside these walls
They say I'll never leave
You're a killer and forever
To the world that's all you'll be
That was twenty-five ago
But the cold here keeps it fresh
Every sin between these metal bars
Is a stale and static mess
[Pre-Chorus]
All that I can do is close my eyes
Hold fast to my mind and the distant light
[Chorus]
I've owned up the best I can
God knows I'm a better man
Than the reckless kid that walked in twenty-five ago
And I don't know another life
I grew up here on the inside
And I cannot wait to stretch my legs when my father calls
And I walk out of this place
[Outro]
Yeah, I cannot wait to stretch my legs when my father calls
Yeah, I cannot wait to stretch my legs when my father calls
And I walk out of this place
I grew up here inside these walls
They'll never let me free
'Cause once when I was three days past eighteen
I took a life that threatened me
That was twenty-five ago
But they say I'm still the same
Second chances should be left to God
And I only have myself to blame
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't forget that night
It'll be at my side 'til the day I die
[Chorus]
I've owned up the best I can
God knows I'm a better man
Than the reckless kid that walked in twenty-five ago
And I don't know another life
I grew up here on the inside
And I cannot wait to stretch my legs when my father calls
And I walk out of this place
[Verse 2]
I grew up here inside these walls
They say I'll never leave
You're a killer and forever
To the world that's all you'll be
That was twenty-five ago
But the cold here keeps it fresh
Every sin between these metal bars
Is a stale and static mess
[Pre-Chorus]
All that I can do is close my eyes
Hold fast to my mind and the distant light
[Chorus]
I've owned up the best I can
God knows I'm a better man
Than the reckless kid that walked in twenty-five ago
And I don't know another life
I grew up here on the inside
And I cannot wait to stretch my legs when my father calls
And I walk out of this place
[Outro]
Yeah, I cannot wait to stretch my legs when my father calls
Yeah, I cannot wait to stretch my legs when my father calls
And I walk out of this place
