25 To Life Songtext

von Mest

This is my story and here's how it goes
Don't tell nobody 'cause nobody knows
The government says what I did was wrong
Then how come it felt so right?
Time, and time, it happened again
Years went by and she lost all her friends
Nowhere to turn
And nowhere to run
She thought that her life was done

I looked in her eyes
And all I could see
Was fuckin' pain, and misery
So unhappy
25, 25 to life
Yeah 25, 25 to life
25, 25 to life
I coulda copped but instead
I got me a new wife

25 to life, is what I could get
But that look in her eyes I could never forget
I knocked down the door
And pulled out my gun
I said grab your things, and get your son
The pain in your life, will soon be over
The pain in your life, will soon be done
I seen, a smile, come to her face
When she heard the sound of a gun

I looked in her eyes
And all I could see
Was fuckin' pain, and misery
Just so unhappy
25, 25 to life
Yeah 25, 25 to life
25, 25 to life
I coulda copped but instead
I got me a new wife

So we packed up our things and headed out west
For this crime I committed I'll never confess
For once in her life, she's happy
She even said "Yes" when I said "Marry me?"
That was my story and that's how it goes
I committed murder and nobody knows

25, 25 to life
Yeah 25, 25 to life
25, 25 to life
I coulda copped but instead
I got me a new wife
