Lyrics
99 To Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm broken hearted, I'm a broken man.
Driven by anger, on that Night I ran.
I had me a woman, I thought that she'd be true.
Now she's gone and left me,
You know her life is through.
Lonely weekends,
Baby lonely nights
The judge he gave me,
Ninety nine to life.
I wish she could be here, lord if she only could,
Instead she's layin' in a puddle of blood.
She was my baby, thought she'd be my wife.
I killed my baby, I killed Her with my knife.
Lonely weekends, baby lonely
Nights the judge he gave me,
Ninety nine to life.
So alone I'm sittin' in my prison cell
Lord only knows now, I'm in a living hell
The rest of my life in this penitentiary
The good lord above now, please have mercy on me.
Lonely weekends, baby lonely
Nights the judge he gave me,
Ninety nine to life.
