I remember, I recall
Like it was yesterday
As I drag the ball and chainLifetime has gone, no parole
There's no getaway
Time be done, my dying dayDoesn't matter how it all went
Doesn't matter how it started
No one else was left to blameSentenced
Why couldn't you just turn and walk away
She whispered, tears in her eyesSomewhere in my mind
I knew there would be hell to pay
I tried to keep my pride
I was sentenced for lifeI didn't lie, I didn't fight
Didn't try to run away
Just raised my hands and dropped the gunAll was calm when they came
All was said and done
And I just watched the smoke go down, down, downI finished what they started
Doesn't matter how it all went
All was gone just the sameSentenced
Why couldn't you just turn and walk away
She whispered, tears in her eyesSomewhere in my mind
I knew there would be hell to pay
I tried to keep my pride, ohSentenced
Why couldn't you just turn and walk away
She whispered, tears in her eyesSomewhere in my mind
I knew there would be hell to pay
I tried to keep my pride
I was sentenced for lifeSentenced
Why couldn't you just turn and walk away
She whispered, tears in her eyesSomewhere in my mind
I knew there would be hell to pay
I tried to keep my pride, ohSentenced
Why couldn't you just turn and walk away
She whispered, tears in her eyesSomewhere in my mind
I knew there would be hell to pay
I tried to keep my prideHide it all inside
I was sentenced for life
