| [00:00.00] | 作词 : Earle |
| [00:20.82] | My name is billy austin |
| [00:25.14] | I'm twenty-nine years old |
| [00:30.57] | I was born in oklahoma |
| [00:34.98] | Quarter cherokee i'm told |
| [00:45.42] | Don't remember oklahoma |
| [00:49.05] | Been so long since i left home |
| [00:53.46] | Seems like i've always been in prison |
| [01:00.09] | Like i've always been alone |
| [01:11.16] | Didn't mean to hurt nobody |
| [01:15.18] | Never thought i'd cross that line |
| [01:24.54] | I held up a filling station |
| [01:25.86] | Like i'd done a hundred times |
| [01:36.90] | The kid done like i told him |
| [01:44.85] | He lay face down on the floor |
| [01:49.23] | Guess i'll never know what made me |
| [01:56.73] | Turn and walk back through that door |
| [02:04.56] | The shot rang out like thunder |
| [02:10.65] | My ears rang like a bell |
| [02:17.19] | No one came runnin' |
| [02:21.51] | So i called the cops myself |
| [02:30.66] | Took their time to get there |
| [02:36.06] | And i guess i could'a run |
| [02:39.57] | I knew i should be feeling something |
| [02:51.09] | But i never shed tear one |
| [02:57.42] | I didn't even make the papers |
| [03:01.89] | 'cause i only killed one man |
| [03:08.55] | But my trial was over quickly |
| [03:17.43] | And then the long hard wait began |
| [03:24.57] | Court appointed lawyer |
| [03:28.56] | Couldn't look me in the eye |
| [03:34.92] | He just stood up and closed his briefcase |
| [03:55.59] | When they sentenced me to die |
| [03:58.26] | Now my waitin's over |
| [03:58.68] | As the final hour drags by |
| [04:04.68] | I ain't about to tell you |
| [04:07.14] | That i don't deserve to die |
| [04:17.85] | But there's twenty-seven men here |
| [04:25.56] | Mostly black, brown and poor |
| [04:27.24] | Most of em are guilty |
| [04:38.94] | Who are you to say for sure? |
| [04:45.42] | So when the preacher comes to get me |
| [04:47.16] | And they shave off all my hair |
| [04:58.86] | Could you take that long walk with me |
| [05:05.67] | Knowing hell is waitin' there |
| [05:12.12] | Could you pull that switch yourself sir |
| [05:19.80] | With a sure and steady hand |
| [05:27.45] | Could you still tell youself |
| [05:28.50] | That you're better than i am |
