I was born in Ft. Worth Texas 47 years ago I spent 27 years as a free man I spent 20 on death row 20 on death row I shot and killed my girlfriend The I sat and watched her die Then I turned the gun against myself But my aim was a little high My aim was a little high I think about her all the night I dream about her all day There’s not a higher price For a man like me to pay For a man like me to pay I won’t ask god for forgiveness There’s still too many people I hate But she was not one of them And I realized that too late I realized that too late I won’t say that I’m lonely Cause there’s too many voices in my head The one I hear most frequently Says the girl you loved is dead The girl you loved is dead Well, I’m gonna die tomorrow Of course, I’m terrified I just wish that both of us On that faithful day I die On that faithful day I die Well, I was born in Ft. Worth Texas I’m gonna die down in Tennessee You’ll put me in a pauper’s grave And then you’ll be rid of me And then you’ll be rid of me
