Artist: Cory Morrow
Transcribed by: Matt Evans

Intro: E

Verse 1: E A E A
I spent my last two birthdays in the Travis County Jail
ETomorrow I go Aup for life but I Eshould go straight to B7hell
B7Hell's got no more room for me and Ait's got no more tEime
AI should be confB7essin' all my Ecrimes

EFour years ago my Adebt was piled Ehigh upon my Amind
EAnd I devised a Aplan to rob a Ebank just to survB7ive
B7Oh, but when the gunsmoke cleared
I saAw two bodies on Ethe ground
AThirteen hours B7later I was fEound

Chorus: B A E
Don't you feel any sorrow for the man that I've been
'Cause in the Bwaking of tomorrow
TheyA will find me fuEll of sin
I got Anews for Eyou, I ain't as Bbad as they Esay
I got Anews for Eyou it looks like,
BThat just don't Amatter todEay

Instru: E A E B7 E

Verse 2: E A E A
Well the verdict came and right away, "Guilty Indeed"
EA 99 to Alife is what I B7heard that jury

Well, they thought they might impress upon me
ACrime it does not Epay
AI ain't one for B7listenin' tEoday
EAs the years go by and Aby upon a Eshadowed ground I Awalk
EThe people and the Aplaces of my Epast have now been B7lost
The man that I've been is not the Aman I'd hoped to Ebe
Now Ait's too late to B7find the good in Eme

Chorus: (2X)

Ending: E B A E
Ah, looks like it just don't matter today

Outro: E A E
