Sun's comin' up and news starts spreadin' around. |
|
Yesterday's gone, and you man |
|
I had to gun down, down, down. |
|
Hey mister "know it all" - what the hell you gonna do? |
|
When a jerk like that takes a swing at you. |
|
You'll run for cover, you'll spit him in the eye, |
|
You'll pull the trigger! - don't tell me lies... |
|
My mother said straight way's build on pride, yeah. |
|
If wishes were horses then beggars would be ride, and ride, ride, ride. |
|
Hey mister "know it all" - what the hell you gonna do? |
|
When a jerk like that takes a swing at you. |
|
You'll call it even, you'll desperately weep, |
|
You'll pull the trigger! - and nail that creep... |
|
Ten to life - now the crime is done. |
|
So long - |
|
I'm too far gone... |
|
Ten to life - from a judge so fine, |
|
Best man - that money can buy... |
|
Took a shot but |
|
I've failed, |
|
Now I'm dying in jail. |
|
And it cuts like a knife, |
|
I'm gettin' |
|
Ten To Life... |
|
Just like a dream they busted me and put me away, |
|
Over the hills and down to the slammer to stay. |
|
Hey mister "know it all" - what the hell you gonna do? |
|
When a jerk like that takes a swing at you. |
|
You'll turn another cheek, take livin' in disgrace, |
|
You'll pull the trigger - get off of my face... |
