River Guard

[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 haul 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
