Cave Creek Jail

I know my way with a colt of steel
And now I'm here, I've made my choice
Nobody's gonna take my phone call, no
Nobody wants to hear my voice

By night I dream of the open prairie
By day I work a-breakin' stones
But if I'm here or livin' freely, well
I know I'm in this world alone

So I sing, hey, hey, hey

I could not stand the wrong he done me
And all my rage has brought me shame
Now all the world is a-two souls poorer
Though everybody knows just who to blame

So I sing, hey, hey, hey

Justice has tipped, tipped her scale
Gonna live out my life in the Cave Creek Jail
Live out my life in the Cave Creek Jail

Soon I'll be hard and gray as flintrock
Smooth and cold without a spark
But in my heart, there's still an ember
Smolderin' slowly in the dark
