Walking down town with a gun in my hand
Bloodshot eyes and an empty heart
It’s been ten years, why do I feel this way?
Dried up tears, so much pain
Some would say I’m a desperate man
Whatever happened to the greater plan
The one where I was the good guy
One one who had a spark in his eye
That mans gone, long forgotten
His remains were buried in a shallow grave
His soul left alone to decompose
They’ll hang me high for this
They’ll string mе way up high
And for the sh#t I’ve done, thеy’ll let me swing awhile
They’d strap me to the chair and then they’ll shroud my face
And for the sh#t I’ve done, they’ll watch me fry for this
There’s just no hiding place and there’s no finding grace
When your head is the prison and your mind is the cage
When I turn out the light, there’s things that creep at night
But everything’s a ghost when you’re guilty
Waiting all alone at the liquor store
There’s whiskey on my breath
And there’s blood on the floor
I wonder how long it will take them to get here
I’m getting impatient with my finger on the trigger
Its my grandfathers gun that they’ll find clinched in my hand
But I didn’t inherit it, I stole it from my cousin
I’m really so sorry that I let you down
But my final wish is to die like a man
As the sires get closer I realize my plan
I take cover and the shooting begins
Please tell your sons not to be like me
There’s really no chance that this ends another way
