Easy Way Out lyrics

I went and got a letter from the judge the other day

It said that I was guilty for a crime I committed

I didn't know why there was time I should pay

But I'd be lying to deny that I did it

I should've held her but instead I killed him

I'm not violent

But I swear that If I had to do it again

I wouldn't think twice of what life I'd spare

Here we go now time for the prison

As my momma cries her eyes out

I watched my momma

At least for a minute

As she cried her little eyes out

Its alright I said to her

Everything has to work out

I know what I did was right

Take care of Jake and Cythnia

I'm a million miles from home

Ain't got no where to go

Did someone call for me

Cause I really need to know

I'm a million miles from home

Ain't got no where to go

Did someone call for me

Cause I really need to know

I went and wrote a letter to the judge the other day

I asked her if she'd ever had any children

I told her it was my baby sister who was raped

And had a suspicion but she still wouldn't listen

The jury was quick to decide

Witnesses did testify

I refuse to loose my life

While my momma cries suicide

Isn't what's right to appeal

Who will go out on a limb

No money and no real meals

This prison is filled with sin

Prosecution fed more lies

Over my dead body under oath

I'll take nothing less

For its my right to be free

I'm sorry

But it's my right to be free

I'm sorry

But it's my right to be free

I'm sorry

But it's my right to be free

I'm sorry

But it's my right to be free

I'm sorry I took the easy way out

I'm a coward and I bruise easy now you know

It must have been something that I couldn't help

I m sorry I took the easy way out

I'm a million miles from home

Ain't got no where to go

Did someone call for me

Cause I really need to know
