Sometimes momma, it can feel real heavy when I think of the wrong I have done. |
|
I don't how I can carry this burden, all I feel is the weight of the gun. |
|
The weight of the gun. |
|
And the wrong I have done. |
|
I know this wasn't what you planned for me. Mothers have hopes for their sons. |
|
Along with the shame I have brought to the family, all I feel is the weight of the gun. |
|
The weight of the gun. |
|
And the wrong I have done. |
|
My hands are empty, but my mind is filled with things that cannot be undone. |
|
How many years since I've lifted a pistol, but I still feel the wieght of the gun. |
|
The weight of the gun. |
|
Things that can't be undone. |
|
The weight of the gun. |
|
And the wrong I have done. |
|
Well brass is heavy, and steel is heavy, lead even heavier still. |
|
Heaviest of all is the weight on your soul from the blood of the man you killed. |
|
A concrete cell is especially tough on a boy used to Montana sun. |
|
And the news that you're gone that the warden delivered, makes me long for the weight of the gun. |
|
The weight of the gun. |
|
The Montana sun. |
|
The weight of the gun. |
|
And the wrong I have done. |
|
Well brass is heavy, and steel is heavy, lead even heavier still. |
|
Heaviest of all is the wieght on your soul from the blood of the man you killed. |
