Mr. Lawman can you help me I've been standing here all day I got three directions, a gun in my hand and nothing left to say Mr. Lawman please convict me See I shot the woman I love When you lock me away you won't need a key To send me to the clouds above As I stand at the crossroads I know I am condemned Don't be kind to a man with Nothing left for him I was born in the dirt and That's where I will end I won't pray for redemption Life is but a sin Mr. Lawman don't forgive me I hope you can understand She was the finest woman a man could love Now the blood's upon my hands Mr. Lawman when you hang me I won't need no final words When I close my eyes I will see her face as I slip into the universe As I stand at the crossroads I know I am condemned Don't be kind to a man with Nothing left for him I was born in the dirt and That's where I will end I won't pray for redemption Life is but a sin As I stand at the crossroads I know I am condemned Don't be kind to a man with Nothing left for him I was born in the dirt and That's where I will end I won't pray for redemption Life is but a sin
