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
