Break It To Them Gently (Live)

BREAK IT TO THEM GENTLY

Break it to them gently when you tell my mom and dad

And when you see my baby sister be as kind as you can

Break it to my grandma, who said "that boy's wild and bad"

Break it to them gently when you tell them that I won't be coming home again

Cause I'm running with a gun, and it isn't any fun as a fugitive

Fightin for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone

Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive

Lord, I wanna go home

Lord, I wish I was home

And when you see my lady with the twinkle in her eyes

Tell it to her softly and hold her if she cries

Tell her that I love her and I will til’ the day I die

Tell it to her gently when you tell her that I won't be coming home again

I got in too deep with strangers

Ah thinkin’ they could help me find my way

Nobody warned me of the dangers

And it's always the young and foolish that have to pay

So, break it to them gently when you tell my mom and dad

Thank ‘em for the good years and all the lovin’ that I’ve had

Break it to my grandma, who said "that boy’s wild and bad"

Break it to them gently when you tell 'em that I won't be comin’ home again

Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive

Fightin’ for my life and I don’t know if I’ll make it alone

Runnin’ the gun and it isn’t fun as a f

Lord, I wanna go home

Lord, I wish I was home

You gotta break it to them gently

Break it to them gently

Ya really gotta really try to roll 'em

Ya gotta really try to soothe ‘em

Ya, gotta break it to them gently

Ya, really try to roll ‘em

Really try to soothe ‘em

Ya really try to roll ‘em

Roll it to my mother

Roll it to my grandma

Gotta roll the old lady

Roll it to my mother

Sister and my brother

Roll the old lady

Roll it to my grandma, she’s damn near eighty

Roll the old lady

Ahhh…

Sweet summertime tastes like wine

And it feels so fine

Roll the old lady

Hey… yeah …

Roll the old lady…

Break it to them gently when you tell them that I won’t be comin’ home…
