Life In Prison
Byrds, The

Byrds, The

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

Life In Prison

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 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

If i could die, my pain might go away
