Billy Austin 歌词

	作词 : Earle
	My name is billy austin
	I'm twenty-nine years old
	I was born in oklahoma
	Quarter cherokee i'm told
	Don't remember oklahoma
	Been so long since i left home
	Seems like i've always been in prison
	Like i've always been alone
	Didn't mean to hurt nobody
	Never thought i'd cross that line
	I held up a filling station
	Like i'd done a hundred times
	The kid done like i told him
	He lay face down on the floor
	Guess i'll never know what made me
	Turn and walk back through that door
	The shot rang out like thunder
	My ears rang like a bell
	No one came runnin'
	So i called the cops myself
	Took their time to get there
	And i guess i could'a run
	I knew i should be feeling something
	But i never shed tear one
	I didn't even make the papers
	'cause i only killed one man
	But my trial was over quickly
	And then the long hard wait began
	Court appointed lawyer
	Couldn't look me in the eye
	He just stood up and closed his briefcase
	When they sentenced me to die
	Now my waitin's over
	As the final hour drags by
	I ain't about to tell you
	That i don't deserve to die
	But there's twenty-seven men here
	Mostly black, brown and poor
	Most of em are guilty
	Who are you to say for sure?
	So when the preacher comes to get me
	And they shave off all my hair
	Could you take that long walk with me
	Knowing hell is waitin' there
	Could you pull that switch yourself sir
	With a sure and steady hand
	Could you still tell youself
	That you're better than i am
	My name is billy austin
	I'm twenty-nine years old
	I was born in oklahoma
	Quarter cherokee i'm told
