Life in Prison - Rehearsal Version - Takes 3 & 4 - Gram Parsons Vocal

[00:29.20] The jury found the verdict first degree
[00:37.76] They swore I planned her death to be
[00:45.39] I prayed they'd sentence me to die
[00:53.07] But they wanted me to live and I know why
[01:00.09] And I'll do life in prison
[01:04.44] For the wrongs I've done
[01:08.10] And I pray every night for death to come
[01:14.91] My life will be a burden every day
[01:22.99] If I could die
[01:25.21] My pain might go away
[01:59.92] With trembling hands I took my darling's life
[02:08.60] Because I loved her more than life
[02:15.03] My love for her will last a long, long time
[02:22.75] But I'd rather die than live to lose my mind
[02:29.80] And I'll do life in prison
[02:34.32] For the wrongs I've done
[02:38.02] And I pray every night for death to come
[02:44.65] My life will be a burden every day
[02:52.42] If I could die
[02:54.66] My pain might go away
[02:59.40] If I could die
[03:02.09] My pain might go away
[03:07.55]
