Sentenced

I remember

I recall

Like it was yesterday

As I drag the ball and the chain

Lifetime has gone

No parole, there's no getaway

Time'll be done my dying day

Doesn't matter how it all went

Doesn't matter how it started

No-one else was left to blame

R:

Sentenced

Why couldn't you just turn and walk away

She whispered, tears in her eyes

Somewhere in my mind

I knew there would be hell to pay

I tried to keep my pride

I was sentenced for life

I didn't lie

I didn't fight

Didn't try to run away

Just raised my hands and dropped the gun

All was calm

When they came

All was said and done

And I just watched the smoke go down, down, down

I finished what they started

Doesn't matter how it all went

All was gone just the same

R:

Sentenced

Why couldn't you just turn and walk away

She whispered, tears in her eyes

Somewhere in my mind

I knew there would be hell to pay

I tried to keep my pride

R:

R:

Hide it all inside

I was sentenced for life
