| Song | Life in Prison |
| Artist | Merle Haggard |
| Album | I'm a Lonesome Fugitive |
| 作词 : Haggard | |
| The jury found the verdict first degree | |
| They swore I planned her death to be | |
| I prayed they sentence me to die | |
| But they wanted me to live and I know why | |
| So I 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 | |
| Insane with rage I took my darling's life | |
| Because I loved her more than life | |
| My dreams for her will last a long long time | |
| But I'd rather die than live to lose my mind | |
| But I've got life in prison... | |
| If I could die my pain might go away |
