Lyrics

I wanted to get for the babies and the wife
A chance to feel happy, a reason to be alive
When the children are starving, how can you say yes to you?
A judge and a jury in such a damn hurry don't matter how I feel
I know in my head that I never did a thing
Oh Lord, I hope they let me live until the spring
I stepped into the bank with my gun inside a bag
Thinking about the family and the money we're gonna have
The teller looked at the end of my gun and the note in my left hand
Passed me some bills and now he pressed
That button I still don't understand
Lost my head in the scramble, I squeezed the trigger twice
The cop stepped into a bullet, snake eyes on the dice
I wanna see the children and hear the robin sing
Lord, I give you my name if you let me live until the spring
I don't know how many nights I've sat and cried
I don't know how many nights I've sat and cried
The TV told me that money was freedom
The TV told me money was freedom
Now I know they lied
They lied to me
They lied
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I, I, I don't
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
