Ten long years i spent in the sun.
where i broke my back to avoid the gun.
but i never cracked. i never gave you up.
i just did my time for you.
chorus: oh yeah. i can't leave you now.
oh yeah. i got nowhere to go anyhow.
when you sleep. don't dream of me.
i don't wanna break your heart til i'm breakin free.
when i get out. i'm gonna run with ya.
we're gonna make our way to america.
chorus. bridge: they can call me public enemy.
brand my skin for treachery.
what they long to have they can't take away from me.
my hope is growing by the power of love.
the highest wall that they erect is not a prison enough.
and like the river that is winding takes it's water
to sea. the only ending that is fitting is you and me baby. chorus.
