I spent my last two birthdays in the Travis County jail Tomorrow I go up with life but I should go straight to hell But hells got no more room for me and its got no more time I should be confessin all my crimes Four years ago my debt was piled high up on my mind And I devised a plan to rob a bank just to survive When the gun smoke cleared I saw two bodies on the ground 13 hours later I was found No dont you feel any sorrow for the man that Ive been Cause in the waking of tomorrow, they will find me full of sin Well I got news for you, I aint as bad as they say I got news for you, looks like that just dont matter today Oh well the verdict came in right away, guilty indeed 99 to life is what I heard the jury They thought that might impress upon me crime does not pay But I aint one for listenin today And as the years go by and by upon the shadowed grounds I walk The people and the places of my past have now been lost That man that Ive been is not the man I hoped to be Now its too late to find the good in me Dont you feel any sorrow for the man that Ive been Cause in the waking of tomorrow, they will find me full of sin Well I got news for you, I aint as bad as they say I got news for you, looks like that just dont matter today Dont you feel any sorrow for the man that Ive been Cause in the waking of tomorrow, they will find me full of sin I got news for you, I aint as bad as they say I got news for you, it looks like that just dont matter today Oh looks like that just dont matter today
news, today, waking, tomorrow, matter
