John Denver Lyrics for Song: Prisoners
 Lyrics for Album: Love Songs And Poetry [1999]
 
 
 
 21127>Josie works the counter at the downtown five and dime
 
 Anything at all to help her pass the time
 
 Her mama keeps the baby and grandpa rambles on
 
 About the good times playing in his mind
 
 
 
 It's a hard life livin' when you're lonely
 
 It's a long night sleepin' alone
 
 It's a hard time waitin' for tomorrow
 
 It's a long, long way home
 
 
 
 Josie spends the evening with the people in the pages
 
 Of the paperback she picked up at the store
 
 Or sometimes it's the TV or she'll try to write a letter
 
 But they don't come too often anymore
 
 
 
 It's a hard life livin' when you're lonely
 
 It's a long night sleepin' alone
 
 It's a hard time waitin' for tomorrow
 
 It's a long, long way home
 
 
 
 And I stare at the gray walls before me
 
 And I see her face in the stone
 
 And I try to imagine our baby
 
 And I wish they would let me go home
 
 And I wish they would let me go home
 
 And I wish they would let me go home
 
 
 
 It's a hard life livin' when you're lonely
 
 And I wish they would let me go home
 
 It's a long night sleepin' alone
 
 And I wish they would let me go home
 
 It's a hard time waitin' for tomorrow
 
 And I wish they would let me go home
 
 It's a long, long way home
 
 And I wish they would let me go home
 
 It's a long, long way home
 
 And I wish they would let me go home
 
 Bring me and the other boys home
 
 And I wish they would let me go home
 
 Bring me and the other boys home
 
 And I wish they would let me go home
 
 Bring me and the other boys home
