Lawman

Mr lawman, can you help me?

I’ve been standing here all day

I got three directions

A gun in my hand and nothing left to say

Mr. lawman, please convict me

See, I shot the woman I love

When you lock me away

You won’t need a key

To send me to the clouds above

As I stand at the crossroads

I know I am condemned

Don’t be kind to a man with

Nothing left for him

I was born in the dirt and

That’s where I will end

I won’t pray for redemption

Life is but a sin

Mr. lawman, don’t forgive me

I hope you can understand

She was the finest woman

A man could love, now the bloods upon my hands

Mr. lawman, when you hang me

I won’t need no final words

When I close my eyes

I will see her face, as I slip into the universe

As I stand at the crossroads

I know I am condemned

Don’t be kind to a man with

Nothing left for him

I was born in the dirt and

That’s where I will end

I won’t pray for redemption

Life is but a sin

Life is but a sin

Life is but a sin

As I stand at the crossroads

I know I am condemned

Don’t be kind to a man with

Nothing left for him

I was born in the dirt and

That’s where I will end

I won’t pray for redemption

Life is but a sin

Life is but a sin
