Josh Rouse, “I Will Live On Islands”

I used to work the discos, I used to work the door
Until I was convicted of a crime I did not score
Someone stole some diamonds, he looked a lot like me
So I serve my sentence and soon I will be free
My girl lives on the outside, my boy he just turned four
I see them on the weekends, I wish I could do more
In three years and six days all this will be done
I will live on islands and I will see the sun
I’m dreaming of my life on the outside
Take it all away
I want to see some green get me out of this place
I’m dreaming of my life on the outside
Take it all away
I want to see some green, I want to be set free
Let me out of this place
I’ll send you postcards, boys
I will live on islands and I will see the sun
