The way that I was living
There was always something missing
I was sipping whiskey wishing
A girl like you was on my arm
The way that I was headed
Had dire consequences
And I never learned my lesson
Until you got a hold of my heart
I've been on the run from New York to Texas
But you had me locked down from the first very first sentence
I'll turn myself in tattoo it on my arm
You're the prettiest thing that I've seen behind a bar
Don't have to ask me twice to get me confessing
I'm guilty of stealing a little slice of heaven
I'll do every bit of time til my last breath is through
'Cause if loving you's a crime give me twenty five to life with you
Lovin' you is freedom
That I never knew I needed
A dream I can believe in
That you've got me coming clean
You're all that I want
Everything to me
I'll give you my heart and throw away the key 'cause
I've been on the run from New York to Texas
But you had me locked down from the first very first sentence
I'll turn myself in tattoo it on my arm
You're the prettiest thing that I've seen behind a bar
Don't have to ask me twice to get me confessing
I'm guilty of stealing a little slice of heaven
I'll do every bit of time til my last breath is through
'Cause if loving you's a crime give me twenty five to life with you
The longer the better
'Cause even forever
Ain't long enough together
Yeah I've been on the run from New York to Texas
But you had me locked down from the first very first sentence
I'll turn myself in tattoo it on my arm
You're the prettiest thing that I've seen behind a bar
Don't have to ask me twice to get me confessing
I'm guilty of stealing a little slice of heaven
I'll do every bit of time til my last breath is through
'Cause if loving you's a crime give me twenty five to life with you
Oh give me twenty five to life with you
