Lethal Injection

I don’t want nobody to see me die, I don’t wanna see my Mother shake and cry
I don’t want nobody watching over me… except for the governor if he sets me
free
Nothing seems worse than the firing line, but a lethal injection to the nerve
of my spine
Sometimes I feel so sick inside, sometimes I sit in my cell and cry
I knew it was wrong when I killed that man, with a smoking revolver set in my
right hand
But, you know he had it coming when I took his life… he was down at the motel
6… so was my wife
In came the preacher I said, 'save my soul', and he said, 'I can’t do that son
but I know who will
The stories your Mama told, you know they’re true, about the Man who died
because of folks like you.~…
You wanna save your soul you wanna be set free? Then put your hand on the man
who came from Gallilee.'
I said, 'preacher that sounds awful swell, but there’s one sure thing…
I’m going to hell!'
