Life Lyrics

I fought those men by the dirty harvest light

I don't suppose the dead always tell it right

Now a hundred people gonna watch me fightin' for life

There ain't no forgiveness left in Arkansas tonight

Last chance on humanity in a dead man's court

I'm as sorry as any man has been before

Oh firing squad could you bring me my lord

And they dragged me when I could walk no more

Mama came to say good-bye but she can't speak

When you close your eyes at night you can hear 'em weep

Eighteen years on death row come put me to sleep

Fifteen dollar last meal that I can't eat

At the end of my life this is what I know

If I'm tortured to death promise make it slow

And to the dead oh I'll see you when I go

And to their families I hope you enjoy the show
