12 Long Years

Well, I did 12 long years just for takin' a life

But the man I shot down killed my child and wife

They asked me why I've done it and I told 'em revenge

So they sentenced me to 15 years in the pen

Well 3 years early is when I got released

Overpopulation too much crime in the street

I told 'em I'd be good, and I regretted what I'd done

But the very next day I'd bought a loaded gun

Well, 12 long years ago I got my first kill

And ever since that day I'd been chasing the thrill

It's a wonderful feeling to have another man's life in your hands

Well I'd paid my price for the very first crime

And it told me what not to do

Like never go out in broad daylight

And never wear the same size shoes

I do my killing across the tracks

No I never do it where I'm at

No 'cause that would be foolish, and I ain't no fool

I'm just a murdering psychopath

If I could do it all over no I wouldn't look back

'Cause the devil makes deals and I signed a contract

So I keep my saw sharp and my gun cocked back

Got a buddy with a pig farm to cover my tracks

I did 12 long years just for taking life

But the man I shot down killed my child and wife

They asked me why I've done it and I told 'em revenge

So they sentenced me to 15 years in the pen

I did 12 long years just for taking a life

But the man I shot down killed my child and wife

They let me out, and now I'm killing again, but I can not help it

I just love the feeling
