in the middle of a gunfight
in the center of a restaurant
they say
come with your arms raised high
well they're never gonna get me
like a bullet through a flock of doves
to wage this war against your
faith in me
your life will never be the same
on your mothers eyes
say a prayer
saw a prayer
now but i can't
and i don't know
how we're just two men as god had made us
well i can't
well i can
too much too late
or just not enough of this pain in my heart
for your dying wish
i'll kiss your lips again
they all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost
my cellmates a killer
they make me do pushups in drag
but nobody cares if you're losing myself
am i losing myself and well
i miss my mom
will they give me the chair
or lethal injection
or swing from a rope if you dare
oh nobody knows all the trouble i seen
now but i can't
and i don't know
how we're just two men as god had made us
well i can't
well i can
too much too late
or just not enough of this pain in my heart
for your dying wish
i'll kiss your lips again
life is but a dream for the dead
and well i can't go down by myself
but i'll go down with my friends
take it like a man
now, now, now, now.........
