DEATH ROW

I committed a murder 20 years ago 
Serving my time on the notorious death row 
I killed your lover and now I must pay 
A life for a life so the governors say 

I realise now that I should not have shot your lover down 
I realise too that I caused a scandal in this small American town 
20 years to reflect on the actions of my crime 
Wishing I could turn back the clock and stop all time 

So I face up to death on that electric chair 
The death penalty to some seems harsh and unfair 
To me it is the beginning of the end 
I am off to meet my maker my one true friend
