Lyrics

[Chorus]
           Bm                         F#
Well I did twelve long years just for takin' a life
        E                         F#
But the man I shot down killed my child and wife
     Bm                           F#
They asked me why I done it and I told em revenge
        E                       F#
So they sentenced me to fifteen years in the pen

[Verse 1]
     Bm                        F#
Well three years early is when I got released
E                      F#
Overpopulation to much crime in the street
  Bm                          F#
I told em I'd be good and I regretted what I'd done
        E                          F#
But the very next day I'd bought a loaded gun
     Bm                      F#
Well twelve long years ago I got my first kill
    E                            F#
And ever since that day I'd been chasing the thrill
       Bm                   F#                 E   F#
It's a wonderful feeling to have another man's life  in
your hands

[Verse 2]
F#         Bm                    F#
  Well I'd paid my price for the very first crime
       E                     F#
And it told me what not to do
     Bm              F#                 E
Like never go out in broad daylight and never wear the same
     F#
size shoes
  Bm             F#
I do my killing across the tracks
     E                     F#
No I never do it where I'm at
         Bm                        F#
No cause that would be foolish and I ain't no fool
           E                   F#
I'm just a murdering psychopath
           Bm                  F#
If I could do it all over no I wouldn't look back
          E                       F#
Cause the devil makes deals and I signed a contract
     Bm                       F#
So I keep my saw sharp and my gun cocked back
      E                        F#
Got a buddy with a pig farm to cover my tracks

[Chorus]
      Bm                         F#
I did twelve long years just for takin' a life
        E                         F#
But the man I shot down killed my child and wife
     Bm                           F#
They asked me why I done it and I told em revenge
        E                       F#
So they sentenced me to fifteen years in the pen

[Outro]
F#      Bm                         F#
  I did twelve long years just for taking a life
        E                         F#
But the man I shot down killed my child and wife
     Bm                     F#                  E
They let me out and now I'm killing again but I can not
help it
       F#              Bm
I just love the feeling
