Jailbird
Tiffany Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got to get free
I got to get free
I got to get free
I got to get free

I've been trapped, trapped in my mind
I've been stuck, stuck in my pride
Won't my darling??????
I've got the shackles around my wrists
I've got some strain?????
But I'm fooling nobody but myself

I got to get free
Cause my honey is calling me
I got to get free
For my honey
It's been a long time coming,
Just to see my honey running
Oh, he is running fast for me

I'm jailbird brought to Rome
Got to find my way back home
But there's goodness in patience of his soul
He's risking, I've been mean
Got blisters on his feet
From the miles he took to get to me

I got to get free
Cause my honey is calling me
I got to get free
For my honey
It's been a long time coming,
Just to see my honey running
Oh, he is running fast for me

I got to get free
Cause my honey is calling me
I got to get free
For my honey
It's been a long time coming,
Just to see my honey running
Oh, he is running fast for me

I'm free,
I'm free, oh,
I'm free,
I'm free.
I'm free,
I'm free,




Oh, call my honey,
And tell him I'm free.
