Life In Prison |
| The jury found the verdict first degree |
| They swore I planned her death to be |
| I prayed they’d sentence me to die |
| But they wanted me to live and I know why |
| So I’d do life in prison for the wrongs I’ve done |
| And I pray every night for death to come |
| My life will be a burden every day |
| If I could die, my pain might go away |
| With trembling hands I killed my darling wife |
| Because I loved her more than life |
| My love for her will last a long, long time |
| But I’d rather die than live to lose my mind |
| And I’ll do life in prison for the wrongs I’ve done |
| And I pray every night for death to come |
| My life will be a burden every day |
| If I could die, my pain might go away |
| If I could die, my pain might go away |
