(Verse 1)
Ten long years I've spent in the sun,
Well,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)
Yeah,I can't leave you now.
Yeah,I got no where to go any how.
(Verse 2)
When you sleep don't dream of me.
I don't wanna break your heart,
'til I'm breaking free.
When I get out I'm gonna run with ya,
We're gonna make it our way to America.
Repeat chorus
Ten long years I've spent in the sun,
Well,I broke my back to avoid the gun,
But I never cracked,I never gave you up.
I just did my time for you.
(Bridge)
They can call me public enemy,
brand my skin for treachery,
but 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.
Repeat Chorus
When you sleep don't dream of me
I don't wanna break your heart,
'til I'm breaking free.
When I get out I'm gonna run with ya,
We're gonna make our way to America.
