All alone in this prison cell, no one but me
Never will these gates be open and I'll never be free
But it's too late now to regret my sin, 'cause soon I'm gonna die
Ain't nothing left to do, just wanna hang my head and cry
Guitar Break
It all happened just so fast I really can't recall
A shot rang out from the barrel of my gun and I saw the poor fella' fall
And for a while everything was still 'till I realize what I had done
Just this one thought raced through me, turn around and run
But I couldn't make it very far until they chased me down
They put those handcuffs around my wrists and they threw me to the ground
And they locked me up behind those prison bars and put me on death row
There goes my future, I got no where else to go
Guitar Break
Won't someone send a message to my dear old mother please
Tell her that I love her, don't say I won't be free
And tell my father who believed in me, I'm sorry I let him down
That I could never be a good man and make him proud
And give my sweetheart back home my last goodbye
Tell her to move on and to find another guy
And tell her please don't cry for me and she was the only one
But I'm not the same man she loved for what I've done
Guitar Break
Now they're leading me to the gallows, yesterday was my last night
They put that rope around my neck and I could feel them pull it tight
And my life is flashing right past my eyes but soon it will be gone
Will the good Lord forgive me for what I've done wrong?
Yeah my life is flashing right past my eyes but soon it will be gone
Will the good Lord forgive me for what I've done wrong?
