Brbed Wire



In caged fury
 Many belong in a padded cell
 Now I have a great story to tell
 There once was a mission from a prison
 For two guys named Amos & Andy
 In carpenter class they stole a file
 At night they worked on the tile
 Although many days have passed
 They still had every reason to grasp
 A reason to escape call it fate
 Then one day Andy broke the tile block free
 Off went Amos and Andy
 Crawling through the corridor
 The pair managed to find a door
 It was then they saw the lights of freedom
 Slipping over the barbed wire
 Amos cut his foot
 Dripping blood he managed to make it to a nearby stream
 There he washed his wound clean
 So they went on there journey free
 Later Andy got busted for selling whiskey
 As for Amos he lived a life of a king down in Mexico
 Andy never told the authorites where his friend would be
 Another fast break from the penitentiary
