Ten To Life Lyrics

Sun's comin' up and news starts spreadin' around.

Yesterday's gone, and you man I had to gun down, down, down.



Hey mister "know it all" - what the hell you gonna do?

When a jerk like that takes a swing at you.

You'll run for cover, you'll spit him in the eye,

You'll pull the trigger! - don't tell me lies...



My mother said straight way's build on pride, yeah.

If wishes were horses then beggars would be ride, and ride, ride, ride.

Hey mister "know it all" - what the hell you gonna do?



When a jerk like that takes a swing at you.

You'll call it even, you'll desperately weep,

You'll pull the trigger! - and nail that creep...



Ten to life - now the crime is done.

So long - I'm too far gone...

Ten to life - from a judge so fine,

Best man - that money can buy...



Took a shot but I've failed,

Now I'm dying in jail.

And it cuts like a knife,

I'm gettin' Ten To Life...



Just like a dream they busted me and put me away,

Over the hills and down to the slammer to stay.



Hey mister "know it all" - what the hell you gonna do?

When a jerk like that takes a swing at you.

You'll turn another cheek, take livin' in disgrace,

You'll pull the trigger - get off of my face...
