STANDING IN THE BATHROOM WITH A GUN IN MY HAND
PULLING ON THE TRIGGER JUST AS FAST AS I CAN
I CAN HEAR HER SCREAM AS SHE REACHES FOR THE LOVER BESIDE HER
MARRIED BY THE BIBLE SHE WAS ONLY SIXTEEN
I WAS FRESH FROM PRISON TRYING TO FOLLOW MY DREAM
WHO`D EVER THOUGHT ID BE THE JUDGE AND THE JURY THAT TRIED HER?
BLOOD SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE WALL
THE GUN STILL SMOKING AS I WATCH IT FALL
I RUN THROUGH THE DOOR WHILE THE SIRENS BLOW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY
MAYBE THEY`LL CATCH ME AND MAYBE THEY WONT
IT REALLY DOESN`T MATTER I JUST HAD TO DO THINGS MY WAY
YEAH YEAH
I MIGHT JUST COMMIT SUICIDE
YEAH YEAH
HE`S THE ONLY MAN THAT I TRUSTED WITH MY LIFE
I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY HE RAN OFF WITH MY WIFE
NOW THAT THEY`RE DEAD WHAT`S GONNA HAPPEN TO THE BABY?
THE STATE WILL HAVE TO RAISE HER JUST THE WAY THEY DID ME
HER MOTHER WANTED FREEDOM AND I JUST SET HER FREE
SHE SHOULD HAVE NEVER LET ME SEE THAT SHE WAS NO LONGER A LADY
SHE CALLED OUT MY NAME JUST BEFORE SHE DIED
SHE SWORE SHE LOVED ME AND I ALMOST CRIED
WITH TREMBLING HANDS I REACHED OUT AND TRIED TO SAVE HER
CHEATING IS SOMETHING I CAN UNDERSTAND
BUT NOT WHEN ITS CHEATING WITH MY BEST FRIEND
SHE BETRAYED THE LOVE AND THE BABY I GAVE HER
