In a field off an old abandoned highway
His jail clothes heavy in the rain
He ran with a love-lost desperate fervor
The warden drunk and calling out his name
All anybody wants is to be free
But that is a right you cannot steal
Carolina breakdown
Carolina breakdown
Carolina breakdown
Is this the way it had to be?
For years in the Bamberg County jailhouse
Pent up and trying to kill the time
He dreamt 'bout the ranch house and the countryside
And he swore he would get back to his first wife
All anybody wants is to be free
But that is a right you cannot steal
Carolina breakdown
Carolina breakdown
Carolina breakdown
Is this the way it had to be?
And he arrived in the early dawn
And he heard voices and grabbed his gun
Her new man walking to his truck to find the convict's bloodshot eyes
And she screamed as the bullet went inside
The warden said he died of his disease
But the system isn't well, and some men are never free
Carolina breakdown
Carolina breakdown
Carolina breakdown
Is this the way it had to be?
