Ten long years on a prison ship
You can't see my pain cause I'm wearing a smile
Ball and chain what a hell of a trip
I can't shake you cause you're a prisoner of my mind
Of my mind
Been so close to her fingertips
Looks like an inch but was really a mile
Words like daggers from her satin lips
I can't break loose cause you're a prisoner of my mind
Of my mind
And after all of this time
After all this time
You're still in my mind
Still in my mind
Ten more years till the sentence is up
No word from you after all this time
My tears are fallin in an old tin cup
I can't shake you cause you're a prisoner of my mind
Of my mind
And after all of this time
After all this time
You're still in my mind
You're still in my mind
You're still in my mind
Ten long years on a prison ship
You can't see my pain cause I'm wearing a smile
Ball and chain what a hell of a trip
I can't shake you cause you're a prisoner of my mind
Of my mind
And after all of this time
After all this time
You're still in my mind
You're still in my mind
You're still in my mind
