Subject: I'LL BREAK OUT AGAIN TONIGHT

             
I'LL BREAK OUT AGAIN TONIGHT
Recorded by Merle Haggard
Words and music by S. Schaffer and A. L. Owens

[C] Slowly the long day turns to night 
And soon they'll turn out the prison [G7] lights 
But in my cell I'm making plans 
To be with you at home a-[C] gain.

[C] These walls and bars can't hold a [G7] dreamin' man 
So I'll be home to tuck the [F] babies [C] in 
They can chain my body but not my [G7] mind 
And I'll break out again, to-[C] night.

The warden thinks I'm in for life 
'Cause all he's ever seen me wear is stripes 
He don't know 'bout my blue suit and my tie 
That I wear when I'm with you each night. 

CHORUS

TAG: And [G7] I'll break out again, to-[C] night.
