Verse 1:
F7                                        Bb7
Grew up in a south Texas town - there was never quite enough to go around
F7                                        Bb7
There were times when we was short on food - so we'd steal from the rich like Robin Hood
F7                                          Bb7
When I turned thirteen I started dealing drugs - everyone said we was nothin but thugs
F7                                       Bb7                                            F7 Bb7
I went places men fear to tread - and if someone tried to stop me I would shoot em dead
F7   Bb7
I would shoot em dead

Chorus:
Ab                 Eb                 Db              Eb
One day the law it come for me - they said I could no longer be free
Ab              Eb                        Db                       Eb
They said my killing days were through - cause my best friend told them all he knew
Ab                 Eb                   Db                  Eb
They locked me in their strongest cell - and swore my soul would go to hell
Ab                 Eb                 Db                    F7
They said I reaped what I had sowed - Only one more day on death row

Verse 2:
F7                                     Bb7
If I could take back all my sins - get one more chance to do it over again
F7                                        Bb7
I'd probably end up in the exact same place - surrounded by bars in a tiny space
F7                                Bb7
I found myself just lovin hate - my lot in life it sealed my fate
F7                                        Bb7                          F7
I might have caused a lot of pain - but I know I'd do it all over again
Bb7                     F7    Bb7
I know I'd do it again

Chorus:
Ab                 Eb                 Db              Eb
One day the law it come for me - they said I could no longer be free
Ab              Eb                        Db                       Eb
They said my killing days were through - cause my best friend told them all he knew
Ab                 Eb                   Db                  Eb
They locked me in their strongest cell - and swore my soul would go to hell

F7                                          Bb7
My mammy and my pappy have both passed on - wondering if I'll see em when I'm gone
F7
If there's a God then he'll send me - down into the fires for eternity
F7                                             Bb7
I know I got it coming don't shed no tears - the time is short but I have no fears
F7                                                    Bb7                                 F7
The good book says you take an eye for an eye - so it won't be long now, it's time to die
Bb7                 F7  Bb7
It's time to die
