[Verse 1]
When I take the prisoners swimming
They have the time of their lives
I love to watch them floating
On their backs
Unburden and relaxed
[Verse 2]
I sit in the tall grass and look the other way
And when I hall them in they always say
"Our sentences will not be served"
[Refrain]
We are constantly on trial
It's a way to be free
We are constantly on trial
It's a way to be free
[Verse 3]
Most nights I go for a drive
To to the highest place I can find
Stand there on a cliff with goose flesh
Watching the wind rip the leaves of the trees
Death defying
Every breath
Death defying
[Verse 4]
Soon we all be back in the yard
Behind the wall
Living hard
Dreaming of cool rivers and tall grass
[Refrain]
We are constantly on trial
It's a way to be free
We are constantly on trial
It's a way to be free
