(Gary Duncan) :
[Lyrics & Background]
We doing time [long] in the USA
We doing time [long] in the USA

Brothers [Long] and my sisters
My mothers[Long] and the children too
Daddy [Long] in the big wheel turnin'
Rollin' [Long] over you
And I feel [Long] like convict buddy
Feel [Long] like a ton of lead
Runnin' [Long] from the hounds in the moonlight
Oh lord [Long] let me catch my breath

I wonna be free [Long] like a big bird flyin'
Free [Long] like the drivin' rain
Free [Long] like a hot sun shinin'

Somebody's done clipped my wings

I can't get no [BG]I can't get no
Satisfaction [BG] satisfaction
No [Long] kinda way
Locked in -
Good god you know I'm locked down
Doin' time [long] in the USA
Doin' time [long] in the USA
[instrumental]

Rave on [Long], Rave on buddy
Bout' your good [Long] vibrations, all the way
Lay back - A get high, with your baby [Long]
Get high [Long] - With your baby
Your love [Long] in the USA

We doing time [long] in the USA
We doing time [long] in the USA
We doing time [long] in the USA
We doing time [long] in the USA
We doing time [long] in the USA
