lyrics

Crack went the judges gavel
As he looked at me
Step right up to the stand
and make your plea.
He said you're a cold killer
It's murder in the first degree,
You'll pay the price with your life
If found guilty.

If you come down here
Guess you know where I'll be
Praying for an angel
Someone to set me free
Set me free.

Rain dripped out of the
Hard black sullen sky
Oh mama, hold your head high
If you tell my brothers and sisters
Don't tell them why
Some men born to live
Some born to die.

If you come down here
Guess you know where I'll be
Praying for an angel
Someone to set me free
If you come down here
Guess you know where I'll be
Praying for an angel
Someone to rescue me.

Oh if I had done it,
You and I'd be running
If I had done it
You and I'd be running on
To a place to hide our face
We'd be gone without a trace
You can roll on if you want
Find someone new for you to haunt
When you hear the siren sound
You'll be lost
And I'll be found
But only God can strike me down.​
