Hands of Time |
| If I could turn back the hands of time |
| If I could turn back the clock |
| I wouldnt be in the place Im in |
| I wouldnt be in the dock |
| Wheres your friends when you need them most |
| Probably hidin under a rock |
| If I could undo the things I did |
| If I could turn back the clock |
| It started out like any other day |
| Lazin around with nothing to do My mind started wondering onto criminal things |
| And how to make a dollar or two |
| I called the guys on my telling phone |
| And told them of my little scheme |
| We drank some beer, we ate some pills, |
| I shared with them my dream |
| I cant recall exactly how |
| I got to where I shouldnt have been |
| ]my head seemed filled with hombre stuff |
| I fealt like I was on the screen |
| I drank more beer, I ate more pills |
| Gained myself a spinning head |
| I raised a gun, I killed a man |
| Im told it was for something he said |
| Its been a year since I said a prayer |
| But God almighty, if your listening up there |
| If I could turn back the hands of time |
| If I could turn back the clock |
| I wouldnt be in this cell right now |
| I wouldnt be in the dock |
| Wheres your friends when you need them most |
| Probably hidin under a rock |
| If I could undo the things I did |
| If I could turn back the clock |
| Misters life and death drone on In their salutary tones |
| While I stand in that wooden dock |
| All sober and alone |
| The papers say its such a crime |
| Whats been dished to me And people who I do not know |
| Are banging on for clemency |
| Now I have the best of cells |
| With ladies on my walls |
| When Im moved they holler «dead man walking» |
| The words echo around the halls |
| I ponder on where my soul is bound |
| As I stare up at the moon |
| Above the clouds, beneath the ground |
| Im gonna find out real soon |
| Strap me in to the killing chair |
| Give me the volts, straighten out my hair |
| Its been a year since I said a prayer |
| But God almighty, if your listening up there |
| If I could turn back the hands of time |
| If I could turn back the clock |
| I wouldnt be in this place right now |
| I wouldnt be in the dock |
| Wheres your friends when you need them most |
| Probably hidin under a rock |
| If I could undo all the things I did |
| If I could turn back the clock |
