I Thought I'd Die

歌詞

I came home the other night the door was open wide And as a joke I thought I'd try to sneak inside I heard a voice from the kitchen one I never heard before Saying come my dear and go with me you don't need him anymore I thought I'd die when I heard his voice so clear I didn't know I could cry but I'm one big walking tear And fear hung over me like a cloud when I heard him say out loud Come my dear and go with me you don't need him anymore A single thought ran through my head I'd rather see the stranger dead Than to know that he could take my love away I drew a pistol from the draw and I shot him to the floor I heard her cry and then I heard her say You just killed my brother Jim who begged me to go with him Cause I told him of the troubles that we've had And after all that we've been through I've said I still love you And I told him all your good outweight the bad I thought I'd die when I heard her voice so clear I didn't know I could cry but I'm one big walking tear Now fear hangs over me like a cloud as the warden says out loud Come my son and go with me you don't live here anymore
