"T-Bone" Burnett
Prison Grove
[Verse 1]
An icy wind burns and scars
Rushes in like a fallen star
Through the narrow space between these bars
Looking down on prison grove

[Verse 2]
Dug in, hunkered down
Hours race without a sound
Gonna carry me to where I'm bound
Looking down on prison grove

[Verse 3]
Iron will hard as rock
Hold me up for the fateful knock
When they walk me down in a mortal lock
Out on prison grove

[Chorus]
Shine on all these broken lives
Shine on, shine the light on me

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh (Hey)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 4]
Knick knack paddy wack
They say, "You'll hear your own bones crack"
When they bend you back to Bible black
Then you'll find your love

[Verse 5]
Some folks have to die too hard
Some folks have to cry too hard
Take one last look at the prison yard
Goodbye prison grove

[Chorus]
Shine on all these broken lives
Shine on, shine the light on me
Hey

[Post-Chorus]
(Come on)
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
(Come on)
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
(Come on)
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
(Hey)
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
(Come on)
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
(Hey)
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
