Social Distortion - Prison Bound

[the13thjinx]

[tomscarr1]

Their guitar solos are always free and unafraid. These guys understand what makes for great  rock and roll

[Nmrd]

This song is just awesome ! BUT, I do prefer the version done by Discipline

[MrMiles5150]

[FrostyElephant]

@aaronmcrich420 Hey fuck you man. Really, they're expressing why they love the song, and that's what Mike Ness is singing about. If you're trying to make fun of Mike Ness then you've got serious mental problems.

[skullkramp13]

[nikkibooher]

[nikkibooher]

[jofx1992]

truly what its all about right here. everyone who has made some bad choices in the past can relate to this. i was on probation by the time i was 11 things got rougher since then. now im back in school and drumming is what gets me high these days. point is this song connects. thats what music is all about.

[IbanezPlaya194]

[papashangofan]

I was humming this to myself on my way to con college

[DAVIE1488]

[Yearst]

@realytimeful A  E F#m D A

[Yearst]

I did a crime one too many times.

It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks

Where the country moon shines.

Oh, I'm prison bound

Tell my girl I'll be back one day.

[kevohh10]

Man, this song takes me back to 8th grade... I LIVED and breathed Social Distortion. Thanks for the good tunes and helping me through hard times of growing up.

[DanBell47]

Best band from the OC!!!!!!

[SmartAlex86]

Ness was in prison for two days, but wrote thousands songs about it... great song though!

[screwyootube1]

There are plenty of "dirtbags" in Washington, as well!

[DanBell47]

@screwyootube1 Fucken A Right!!!!!!

[RiemannFender]

Great song. I like the picture too. From where can I get this pic? There are similar pics with red text, but I need the white one.

[Mrturkeyhunter100]

@RiemannFender type in social distortion on google images! it should be there otherwise idk

[papashangofan]

@RiemannFender Just print screen it you complete whisky rebel!

[TheOhyeahproductions]

Mike Ness is an inspiration. Songs like this have gotten me through a lot of scrapes.

[blackbloccninja]

Served my time, cleaned up and raised my daughter. Love this song!

[MINDCONTROLLEDLOVE]

@blackbloccninja RIGHT ON

[209localskater]

@blackbloccninja good shit man

[MrSionnach1]

@blackbloccninja Congrats, bro. Must've been tough.

[workingclass75]

@blackbloccninja cleaned up from the neck up myself and taking care of my kids. It's good life. Good work brother.

[TheJimAndBob]

@blackbloccninja *then i raped her when she was twelve

[lynxfootball4life]

@TheJimAndBob That's plain fucked up dude. You shouldn't say things like that.

[ReverenXero]

@blackbloccninja Stay down wood! Like you, I am an outlaw that realized that I love my kids too much to go back anymore. Rare breed.

[einsamerverbrecher]

@blackbloccninja right?! you're not the only one. ex-con and now a single dad...weird how it flipped around...

[EricThompson1965]

I have done a skid bid (18 months) Who here but for the grace of God......

[pnptcn]

@EricThompson1965

The only thing that makes any of us different than you is luck. Either worse or better...

[hulio932]

one of the legendary punk albums of our time

[tntdynomite92]

...I like this song..

[Malachy896]

CHECK OUT GUITAR CENTER SESSIONS W/ SOCIAL DISTORTION - OUTSTANDING......THESE GUYS ARE MY FAVORITE NEW /OLD BAND/ SURVIVORS ROCK ON BOYZ FROM O.C.

[tomscarr1]

Im not a dirtbag, Im a guy who didnt rat anyone else out and did my own time. The war on drugs has made America the land of the incarserated not the free

[Fishsticks187]

@tomscarr1 AMEN! The war on drugs is a sham dude, you're absolutely right. It's a method of keeping the rich rich and the poor poor. Sincerely, Mr.never even puffed a joint.

[Bobby8842]

@tomscarr1 Ron Paul 2012!

[honda29100]

@Bobby8842 FUCK THAT DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!! WORLDS DUMBEST republican ever to run . hes going to fuck this country over like bush did .

[DJGTechHL]

@honda29100 World's dumbest republican? Have you ever seen Rick Santorum speak? Ron Paul 2012.

--

And on topic, this is one of the greatest songs ever.

[honda29100]

[ToObAdYrCuTe22]

[thecreeper114]

[thecreeper114]

Seriously, id like to see all these idiots talking smack..in front of theses guys..or were we hang downtown chicago...lol..ahh Ignorance!!

[redneckprincess1995]

god i love mike ness :)

[dog8788]

you know i may never learn

[TheVictorianorton]

this will forever remind me of my once long time boyfriend of 5 1/2 years, hes now in prison due to his drug addiction, he wasnt a bad person as much as he made some bad chooses. now hes up state serving 5 yrs.. I hope for his sake HE WILL LEARN ANY OTHER WAY

[gnatpiz]

@TheVictorianorton Well, Ness figured it out, and it's not prison that can fix you. He's been clean and sober since 1985. I think part of the answer is in 'Ball & Chain'. That's a prayer to God if I've ever heard one...

[TheGuerrillaPoet]

@TheVictorianorton Most junkies are not bad people. Most just made bad choices along the way, and those choices caused them to lose a part of their soul. One of my cousins was a bright kid, funny, nice kid. He was a jock type, and yet he went down the wrong path, making bad decisions. Unfortunately, because of those bad decisions, he will never get older than 25, his mother will never feel her baby in her arms. Because of those bad choices he was beaten to death in a dispute.

[Halfabucketofpsycho]

@TheGuerrillaPoet Cool story bro.

[FrostyElephant]

@Halfabucketofpsycho Why the fuck do you gotta troll on him? Come the fuck on man...

[skatepunkzero]

"Johnny says Ill walk the Line" the line that got me into Johnny Cash a few years ago.

[TheLargehoman]

Im a dirtbag, never been in prison though

[chuckmekere]

Only a 'dirtbag' would hit the Dislike button.

[mmgf127]

done time... wrote songs

[MrSteelhead420]

i am going to a place where the tuff guys go...and come out tougher

[D3thproof]

@MrSteelhead420

This is the first lyric that always come to mind whenever I think about this song.

[GBPacor]

I got grounded today and this is all I've been listening to

[androidlpz]

@M0nk3m4n Dude! That's sacrilege! Learn what music is about and open your ears while your at it.

[livefastdierrhea]

this is one of my favorite drunk singalong songs fuckin love it

[Mrstrejo08]

Ha! I couldn't help but sing this song on my chain ride to Chowchilla!

[bignsurly]

two people are probably going straight to heaven.............

[kakarot138]

lol i was singing this song on my way to jail

[dustynutz82]

@kakarot138 me to bro me two but i was really on my way to the pen

[madmark1488]

@dustynutz82 wow on your way to the pen, I like this song cause it,s about doing time. when you have, you,ll understand!

[LilReaper608]

@kakarot138 what got you in there man.?

[johnniedig]

Yeah...except that riff was also part of a Dylan tune. And it's one of the most standard folk/country riffs there is. I-V-vi-IV is common for any pop song. This and Wagon Wheel use I-V-vi-IV followed by I-V-IV.

[mindblown2008]

One of my fav Social D songs, been there done that time rolls on, badass song

[i3Deadpool]

only song that makes me wanna go to prison!!!

Social Distortion fucken rules!!

[crazychris2681]

One of my all time favorite songs!!! Say something bad about social D, and then go fuck yourself!!!!

[sarevus]

Anybody else find an odd similarity to this song and a song called Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show? look it up

[workingclass75]

@sarevus Ya...OCMS totally lift the riff. Kind of shamlessly too.

[Alleycat3435]

702... speedee mart 2 for $1 hotdogs..

[dionath]

I hope if I write something fawning and sycophantic I get many thumbs-up.

[djthackray]

@dionath That was hilarious, I fuckin' love you.

[pullbackbaby]

Epic win about a lose-lose situation

[arnyarny77]

is this aldo nova? all night long?

funny how some songs can remind one of others

love both, songs

[GirlPants92]

Im pissed cause bout a month ago my ipod broke, and since my laptop broke just before the summer i dont have any of my social d songs, which makes stressful days and driving suck

[fionaflapps]

FFFFaaaaaarrrrrrkkkkk yyyyyyeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh­hhhhh

[arnyarny77]

god damnn this song is incredible, god damn

[workingclass75]

There are plenty of 'dirtbags' in prision..just as there are plenty of "dirtbags" on the streets. Prisons are also filled with people who have made mistakes, gotten caught up in a bad scene, and/or are slaves to addiction. To make blanket statements about inmates makes YOU the "dirtbag." Now every STFU and listen to the song.

[TheFatCampCrew]

@workingclass75 What? In the world we live in its badass to have been to prison, that doesn't mean u have to be the badest of the asses.. lol.. just get with it.. thats what i say.

[Rambl147]

@workingclass75 As hitler once said kill 'em' all and ride the lightning"

[dandynik1]

@workingclass75

well i would put all the smack heads on a remote island and let them get on with it they are a drain to society or better still a bullet in the back of the head

[workingclass75]

@dandynik1 Well I would take all the assholes who lack compassion and empathy for other people out to field a chop off their heads. So I guess were even.

[biscuitonia]

@workingclass75 bullshit arguement. Just like back when this album came out (and I was there for that), you can't NOT know what getting hooked on smack means. Getting cross ways with the law for other reasons, that's a different story, but not with junk, there is no excuse. And before you get all pissy, I've had plenty of people in the punk scene where I grew up die because of heroin. I got pissed at them, not the drug.

[workingclass75]

@biscuitonia Ya..I was there for it too. You also get mad at other people with mental illnesses. You are acting like addiction is a choice. People who can use responsibly do use responsibly. Untreated addicts yes will act like untreated addicts.Sorry they didn't live up to your expectations.

[H3LLS3NT4SS4SS1N]

@biscuitonia fuck you bitch, people make mistakes all the time, who are you to say that one is worse than another, especially one so harmful to the mistake maker and so harmless to the rest of society? think about it numbnuts...addicts wouldn't be a problem for society if drugs were legal....why? because illegality forces prices higher and quality down...how fucking dare you judge others for their mistakes, especially given that there a lot of people trying to make amends...eat shit and die SLOW

[Fishsticks187]

@workingclass75 Damn straight man! They lock up petty criminals for nothing. The system is flawed.

[joaobuatim]

epic song

[batjames20]

i like to lift weights to this song for some reason.

[poopmcscoopface]

@batjames20 cuz it motivates you to get stronger so youll never be raped

[crowntownpunx]

4 MY PRIMO ALBERT GLAD UR STILL HOME CORONA POR VIDA PRIMO



[nilsp1979]

I did time, and I am great guy:)  Peace assholes!

[madvegan66]

Love this song, reminds me of someone really special :D

[MrFuckyourpowertrip]

He is right not everyone is a bunch of dirtbags... LOts of people have badluck

nuf ced

[MrBrianlowdown]

[spunchicken]

this is a great song... bunch of dirtbags identifying themselves with it cause they have done time though lol

[YanksDontKnowFooty]

@spunchicken you don't necessarily have to be a 'dirtbag' to do time.

[FLATblacktical]

@YanksDontKnowFooty Amen brother.

[animeloverryan85]

@YanksDontKnowFooty Sure, there are some people that are in prison for killing someone who hurt their loved ones.

[romuluscreative]

@YanksDontKnowFooty yea you due in eyes of society. You dont fit you dont belong you dont look right you vibe off energy your a scum bag unless you fit into the eyes of the right side of tracks bro. but you only feel good when your being you. Its the whole song and the meaning of the separation of classes only the punk rock/blues version I so love this song

[newbeachinvasion]

@spunchicken Yeah, what kind of asshole relates to the lyrics of a song they like? Bunch of fuckin' pricks!

[CycoKelbo]

@spunchicken Fuck you (sarcastic lol )

[bruiser8604]

when you're facing a year in jail, its songs like this that keep you going

[Eternal248]

colder than a pimps heart....gotta love that!!!

[FFarmerCharlie]

the first verse reminds me of this guy who said that while he was in prison (not a pussy one neither) that all the toughest guys were cryin durin 'Marly and Me'.

[BlackTarAllStar]

@FFarmerCharlie Where was he in prison Utah?

[FFarmerCharlie]

@BlackTarAllStar i think florida, not sure.

[pen1nazi]

tell my girl ill be back some day.....

[pen1nazi]

this song gives me fuckin goosebumps everytime and i paroled about 9 months ago.......

[supermjjfan1]

Mike Ness is the God of punk!

[cza5543]

I don't even think Mike Ness has ever been to prison.

[supermjjfan1]

@cza5543

How would you know?

[cza5543]

@supermjjfan1 Because I read his Bio.

[supermjjfan1]

@cza5543

Ok,LOL. I guess I didn`t . Have been a fan for several years now and seen him live about 5 or 6. He is truly one of the most talented guitar guys around.Peace.

[cza5543]

@supermjjfan1 Yeah, I think he went to jail for heroin possession. This guy is truly the Johnny Cash of our generation. I've been to some of his shows and never seen an artist bring so many different people together.

[supermjjfan1]

@cza5543

There is another prson on here who says different,but really swo what?! Mikey is great... As you can see I love MJackson but punk is always my hearts destiny,LOL. Hey 55 and been there since early 1980`s..when it wasnt too cool. Yep,Johnny definetely Mike`s biggest influence,I think.Mike is a god of guitar. Amazing talent. Cool too;talked to him at a couple of gigs and he right down to earth and funny as shit.

[MachuMacKerrson]

been in prison twice as an adult

[gnatpiz]

@MachuMacKerrson Here's hoping you have the wisdom to never go back. Best wishes to you...

[deathtonathan]

@MachuMacKerrson Was it fun?

[MachuMacKerrson]

@deathtonathan you realize how dumb that question is right?

[deathtonathan]

@MachuMacKerrson Well was it?

[MachuMacKerrson]

@deathtonathan oh yeah definitely guy

[metalhead158622]

@MachuMacKerrson sorrry mate

[wpgray3]

This song isn't about being in prison.  It's about continuing to do the the things that should get you locked up instaed of just spending a day or two in county.

[gnatpiz]

@wpgray3 Um....how does that square with verse 2?

[supermjjfan1]

@wpgray3

LOL,great .

[1369billy]

thank you!!

[smoke420allthetime]

im sure half of you who say you have been to prison are lying.

social distortion rocks!

[boiledhooker]

I dodged it...But i got a brother in Bent County, Colorado who can relate to this.

[volkscom]

Jail isnt all fun times, it kinda sucks...

[TillmannBTVdrums]

this song is SO much better live. like, this is good, but it just doesn't compare. social d, they're so good live. oh my god. it was amazing.

[acesandeights65]

my brother was in jail for 18 teen years i went to see him twice iam not a very good brother am i .

[abrasivewt]

there are many people who are prison bound who dont belong there, for the others: fuck you! I hope i never go back to prison.

[defrost2k3]

In four hours I'll be singing this with them... and about 50 000 other people!

[boiledhooker]

@defrost2k3 Good luck in there!

[swantonkincaid]
