Hey now mama, listen what I say
That old lawman heâs coming my way
He been on me since the day I was born
hunting me down till I go in the ground
Iâm your son mother, and Iâm a good man
I canât do this alone here now, wonât you please hold me hand?
Darkness close around me... I canât see the light
To me now the noon-day sun itâs as dark as the night
And in the distance I see
That lawmanâs come for me
Iâm always surrounded but feel out of place
Itâs like Iâm segregated, Iâm another race
Iâm feelin so tired because I never win
I never knew that being lonely is such a sin
And the tears sting my eyes
As I stare at the sky
How could Iâve ever known
Heâd attack when Iâs alone?
Death knocked on my door but I could not reply
Iâm not bearing to live, but Iâm not ready to die
Itâs already over, the damage was done
Iâm at the end of your smoking gun
Getting harder to breath
âcause Iâm gnashing my teeth
Hearinâ voices in my head
And they want me dead
