With a pistol in my pocket, and a vision in my head
I kicked down my brother's door; shot that bastard dead
He had to love my wife, and I couldn't let that go
Now I will spend all my days living life on death row

I wandered back home, and I took off my coat
I grabbed her in the kitchen, then I slit her throat
They found me by the river, I was crying on my own
Now I will spend eternity living life on death row

In this place, it's hard to tell the nighttime from the day
Where your name becomes a number, and your soul just slips away
One day they'll walk me out, cut a circle in my hair
And they'll say "good morning" to me, as they strap me to the chair
And with shackles on my feet, and a sponge on my head
They'll set my spirit free, when they pronounce my body dead
And away from this world, I will go
Away from my life on death row

I loved them both so much, it hurt me when I put them in the ground
But when I heard her scream, it was the sweetest sound
If I had my time again, I'd do it all the same, I know
Even though I know it means spending life on death row

When I lay down at night, they both are there when I close my eyes
Causing me to take another step to my demise
Twelve years have passed, but the screaming still haunts me so
I wish I wasn't doomed to live out my life on death row

'Cause in this place, it's hard to tell the nighttime from the day
Where your name becomes a number, and your soul just slips away
One day they'll walk me out, and cut a circle in my hair
And they'll say "good morning, Drunkard", as they strap me to the chair
And with shackles on my feet, and a sponge on my head
They'll set my spirit free, when they pronounce my body dead
And away from this world I will go
Away from my life on death row

Death row
Death row
Death row
Death row
