Prisoners Lyrics

Cover art for Prisoners lyrics by John Denver

If I remember a anecdote I heard about it correctly, it's actually a song about a Vietnam POW and his wife at home.

y'know, now that I read that comment it makes PERFECT sense. For the longest time I thought it was about a teen couple that got into trouble.

Thank you for clearing that up!
