LIFE IN PRISON

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
