this is my story and here's how it goes
don't tell nobody cause nobody knows
the gov't says what i did was wrong,
then how come it felt so right
time and time it happened again
years went by and she lost all her friends
nowhere to turn and nowhere to run
she thought her life was done
i looked in her eyes and all i could see
was fuckin pain and misery she's so unhappy
25, 25 to life yea 25, 25 to life
I coulda copped but instead i got me a new wife
25 to life is what i could get,
but the look in her eyes i could never forget
i knocked down the door and pulled out my gun
i said grab your things and get your son
the pain in your life will soon be over
the pain in your life will soon be done
i seen a smile come to her face when she heard the sound of the gun
i looked into her eyes and all i could see
was fuckin pain and misery she's so unhappy
25, 25 to life yea 25, 25 to life 25, 25 to life
i coulda copped but instead i got me a new wife
so we packed up our things and headed out west
for this crime i commited i'll never confess
for once in her life she's happy she even said yes
when i said marry me that was my story and that's how it goes
i commited murder and nobody knows
25, 25 to life yea 25, 25 to life 25, 25 to life
i coulda copped but instead i got me a new wife
