about

A country song for our times.
Inspired by lockdown, Johnny Cash and the Statler Brothers.
Not sure if it's a love song or an anthem to narcissism.

lyrics

Locked Down With You

They say incarceration takes it's toll upon the mind
And Solitude weighs heavy on the soul
But in the darkest recesses of custody you'll find
A freedom that's much greater than parole

You ain't got no choice but to comply
But there is something that might help the time goes by

You can put me in San Quentin,throw away the key
The pretty birds of of Alcatraz is are singin out for me
Bang me up in Folsom Prison, I won't get no blues
As long as I can be locked down with you

The minutes turns to hours and the days turn into weeks
Will this fine confinement ever end
I got Stockholm Syndrome, it's not freedom that I seek
Captivity is like a long lost friend

You can put me in San Quentin,throw away the key
The pretty birds of of Alcatraz is are singin out for me
Bang me up in Folsom Prison, I won't get no blues
As long as I can be locked down with you

You can put me in San Quentin,throw away the key
The pretty birds of of Alcatraz is are singin out for me
Bang me up in Folsom Prison, I won't get no blues
As long as I can be locked down with you
