Out in the street
The wind in my hair
I should have ran
But I stood and stared
He was only a boy
A boy in too deep
I took his life
And now Im paying with mine
Lord forgive me for what Ive done
I didnt mean to hurt no one, no
Passed down my sentence
Just the other day
I didnt get any years
Its my life Ill pay
So many things to say(I dont wanna I dont wanna)
But I dont want to say good-bye (I dont wanna die)
I want to live I dont wanna die
Lord forgive me for what Ive done
I didnt mean to hurt no one
Sorry soul
You set me free
I dont wanna die
Lord forgive me
Here comes the Preacher
With the Book in his hand
I said Im only a boy
He said youve gotta stand like a man
I sit here waiting
Im waiting to pay
Lord forgive me
I dont wanna die today
Lord forgive me for what Ive done
I didnt mean to hurt no one
Sorry soul
You set me free
I dont wanna die
Lord forgive me
Lordy, Lordy please forgive me, I dont wanna die today
No, nonononononononono
Said I. . . . . . . . . . .I
I dont wanna die today
No No nonono
Said I. .
