Lawman

Mr. Lawman can you help me
I've been standing here all day
I got three directions, a gun in my hand and nothing left to say

Mr. Lawman please convict me
See I shot the woman I love
When you lock me away you won't need a key
To send me to the clouds above

As I stand at the crossroads
I know I am condemned
Don't be kind to a man with
Nothing left for him
I was born in the dirt and
That's where I will end
I won't pray for redemption
Life is but a sin

Mr. Lawman don't forgive me
I hope you can understand
She was the finest woman a man could love
Now the blood's upon my hands
Mr. Lawman when you hang me
I won't need no final words
When I close my eyes I will see her face as I slip into the universe

As I stand at the crossroads
I know I am condemned
Don't be kind to a man with
Nothing left for him
I was born in the dirt and
That's where I will end
I won't pray for redemption
Life is but a sin

As I stand at the crossroads
I know I am condemned
Don't be kind to a man with
Nothing left for him
I was born in the dirt and
That's where I will end
I won't pray for redemption
Life is but a sin
