Life In Prison lyrics
Song information
Artist: The Byrds Album: Sweetheart Of The Rodeo
Lyrics
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
