Lyrics
I spent my last two birthdays in the Travis County Jail
Tomorrow I go up for life or a school straight to hell
Hell's got no more room for me, it's got no more time
I should be confessing all my crimes
Four years ago my debt was piled high upon my mind
And I devised a plan to rob a bank just to survive
When the gun smoke cleared I saw two bodies on the ground
Thirteen hours later I was found
Don't you feel any sorrow for the man that I have been?
In the waking of tomorrow they will find me full of sin
I got news for you, I ain't as bad as they say
I got news for you, looks like that just don't matter today
Well the verdict came in right away, guilty indeed
Ninety-nine to life is what I heard the jury read
They thought they might impress upon me crime it does not pay
But I ain't one for listening today
As the years go by and by upon a shadowed ground I walk
The people and the places of my past have now been lost
The man that I have been is not the man I'd hoped to be
Now it's too late to find the good in me
Don't you feel any sorrow for the man that I have been?
In the waking of tomorrow they will find me full of sin
I got news for you, I ain't as bad as they say
I got news for you, looks like that just don't matter today
Don't you feel any sorrow for the man that I have been?
In the waking of tomorrow they will find me full of sin
I got news for you, I ain't as bad as they say
I got news for you, looks like that just don't matter today
Looks like that just don't matter today
