Title: “Stairway to the Yard” (A Tribute to Ashley James, the Die-Hard Zeppelin Prison Fan)
(Verse 1)
Locked down tight, but your soul runs free,
With a “Whole Lotta Love” for the Zep, I see.
Through concrete walls and iron bars,
You hear that riff like a shooting star.
(Pre-Chorus)
No keys to the highway, but your heart still flies,
When Plant’s voice wails and Bonzo’s drum cries.
They can shackle your hands, but they’ll never chain,
The fire in you when “Kashmir” plays.
(Chorus)
Ohhh, Ashley James, you’re a rock ‘n’ roll lifer,
Dancing in shadows with a “Black Dog” fighter.
From the “Immigrant Song” to the “Rain Song” sweet,
Led Zeppelin’s the heartbeat under your feet!
(Verse 2)
They stole your days, but they can’t steal the night,
When “Since I’ve Been Loving You” feels just right.
Guitars scream like a jailbreak sound,
In your mind, you’re stadium-bound.
(Bridge)
“Nobody’s Fault But Mine,” but you still rise,
With a “Trampled Under Foot” and hellfire eyes.
The guards don’t get it—they’ll never know,
Why “When the Levee Breaks,” your spirit still grows.
(Outro)
So keep the Zeppelin high, let the records spin,
One day you’ll walk to “The Ocean” again.
Till then, rock on, through the time they deny—
You’re a “Communication Breakdown” lullaby.
For Ashley—because even walls can’t hold a Zeppelin fan down.
