Been down sidewinder valley
Been down dead man's alley
I slipped down b hill
In the heart of town
Been locked up so long
My head spins around
Because I been nowhere but barstow and prison
But that was my bad decision
Nineteen years of steamin'
Thirteen years of screamin'
I been nowhere but barstow and prison
In a ghost town near daggett
Is a prison built by maggots
There's no sweet dessert seas
There's no sweet summer breeze
There's just men like me
Because I been nowhere but barstow and prison
But that was my bad decision
Nineteen years of steamin'
Thirteen years of screamin'
I been nowhere but barstow and prison
I miss soft, dry, river bottom sands
I miss the back and forth sway
On my way to distant lands
But I'm so far from that now
Because I been nowhere but barstow and prison
But that was my bad decision
Nineteen years of steamin'
Thirteen years of screamin'
I been nowhere but barstow and prison
