Life In Prison

Lyrics

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 pray every night for death to come

If I could die, my pain might go away

If I could die, my pain might go away
