Mest - 25 To Life lyrics

rate me

This is my story and here's how it goes

Don't tell nobody 'cause nobody knows

The government 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 that her life was done

I looked in her eyes

And all I could see

Was fuckin' pain, and misery

So unhappy

25, 25 to life

Yeah 25, 25 to life

25, 25 to life

I coulda copped but instead

I got me a new wife

25 to life, is what I could get

But that 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 a gun

I looked in her eyes

And all I could see

Was fuckin' pain, and misery

Just so unhappy

25, 25 to life

Yeah 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 committed 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 committed murder and nobody knows

25, 25 to life

Yeah 25, 25 to life

25, 25 to life

I coulda copped but instead

I got me a new wife
