Please Don't Let Me Out

I've been in jail eleven years and parole has just come through The gates will soon swing open wide but I'm not going through Jail's the only home I know or care to know about Please let me stay where I belong please don't let me out How could I tell those friends of mine they've seen the last of me Can't I make you understand I never can be free Cause that's a big unfriendly world and I don't know the route That leads to where I may belong please don't let me out [ guitar ] I had to learn to get along without a lot of things And I had to learn to live with the loneliness confinement brings And I learnt to take no mail from home or whatever came about Now I'm dug in and I'm happy here please don't let me out How could I tell those friends of mine... Yes that's a big unfriendly world...
