Prison (Songs in the Key of F) [Live] Lyrics

I stole some hearts but dodged the bars out on the run
Committed crimes but not the time I should've done
I'd feel the cops, that was enough to start laying low
Until the day I felt these chains not letting go

Call me a convict, I've been convicted
Serving the verdict, a live sentence

You've got me locked up
Go on and throw away the key
I ain't ever gonna leave this prison
You got me locked down
For twenty-four hours a day
I ain't ever gonna break this prison
Couldn't run, couldn't hide even if I tried
Girl I know you would find me and I'd wind up back in it
Your love is like a prison
Your love is like a prison

Girl you're my judge, my jury, my executioner
No other way I'd have it babe, I'm your prisoner
Yeah I'm your prisoner

You've got me locked up
Go on and throw away the key
I ain't ever gonna leave this prison
You got me locked down
For twenty-four hours a day
I ain't ever gonna break this prison
Couldn't run, couldn't hide even if I tried
Girl I know you would find me and I'd wind up back in it
Your love is like a prison
Your love is like a prison

Call me a convict, I've been convicted
Serving the verdict, a live sentence

You've got me locked up
Go on and throw away the key
I ain't ever gonna leave this prison
You got me locked down
For twenty-four hours a day
I ain't ever gonna break this prison
Couldn't run, couldn't hide even if I tried
Girl I know you would find me and I'd wind up back in it
Your love is like a prison
Your love is like a prison

Warner Music Nashville / Atlantic Records artist Devin Dawson is not your typical country artist. His look is dark and bold. His sound is sleek and raw. He has a knack for writing razor sharp stories that cut straight to the heart, full of detail and clever turns of phrase. And his songs speak the language of a new generation. Dawson is an edgy study in contrast, poised as the next bolt of lightning to hit country’s family tree.

His approach to music is not different on purpose, it’s different with purpose. Twenty-eight years old and from Orangevale, California, Dawson grew up just outside the gates of Folsom Prison. He heard the sirens at night, and sang along to Johnny Cash, Alan Jackson, Marvin Gaye and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Arriving in Nashville in 2012, he put his unique skills to use authoring songs for other artists. When it came time to put together his own debut album, he teamed with equally daring producer Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Little Big Town, Brothers Osborne). Having co-written every track, the result is a mix of organic roots and high-voltage country, full of romance and delivered with a distinctive saw-toothed vocal. As he gets ready to join Maren Morris’ Hero Tour this year, Dawson is already establishing a reputation in Nashville as one of the most exciting modern singer-songwriters the format has ever seen.
