I remember I recall Like it was yesterday As I drag the ball and the chain
Lifetime has gone No parole, there's no getaway Time'll be done my dying day
Doesn't matter how it all went Doesn't matter how it started No-one else was left to blame
Sentenced Why couldn't you just turn and walk away She whispered, tears in her eyes Somewhere in my mind I knew there would be hell to pay I tried to keep my pride I was sentenced for life
I didn't lie I didn't fight Didn't try to run away Just raised my hands and dropped the gun
All was calm When they came All was said and done And I just watched the smoke go down, down, down
I finished what they started Doesn't matter how it all went All was gone just the same
Sentenced Why couldn't you just turn and walk away She whispered, tears in her eyes Somewhere in my mind I knew there would be hell to pay I tried to keep my pride
