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
