This is my story and here's how it goes
don't tell nobody 'cause nobody knows
the government says what i did was wrong
then how come it felt so right?
time and time it happened again
the years went by and she lost all her friends
nowhere to turn and nowhere to run
she thought that her life was done
i looked in her eyes
and all i could see
was fuckin pain and misery
shes so unhappy
(chorus)
25 25 to life (to life, to life)
yea 25 to life
25 25 to life (to life, to life)
i could'a copped but instead
i got me a new wife
25 to life was wat i could get
but that look in her eyes i could never forget
i knocked down the door
and pulled out my gun
i said grab your things and get your son
the pain in your life will soon be over
the pain in your life will soon be done
i'd seen a smile come to her face
when she heard the sound of a gun
i looked in her eyes and all i could see
was fuckin pain and misery
shes so unhappy
(chorus)
25 25 to life (to life, to life)
yea 25 to life
25 25 to life (to life, to life)
i could'a copped but instead
i got me a new wife
so we packed up our things
and headed out west
for this crime i commited
ill never confess
for once in her life
shes happy
she even said yes
when i said marry me
that was my story and thats how it goes
i commited murder and nobody knows
(chorus)
25 25 to life (to life, to life)
yea 25 to life
25 25 to life (to life, to life)
i could'a copped but instead
i got me a new wife
