(Verse)
I came home early, ready to see my girl once more,
I walked down the hallway and knocked on our bedroom door.
I heard her gasp and the sound of rushing feet,
The sounds of another man’s voice trying so hard to be discreet.
I knew what was going on before I entered the room,
I just never expected to ever be betrayed by you.
(Pre-chorus)
There’s a cold sweat runnin’ down my back,
And a thousand damn thoughts I can’t take back.
I’m tryin’ to keep this rage locked up inside,
But there’s a devil on my shoulder sayin’, “Let it ride.”
(Chorus)
Lord help me ‘cause I’m gonna get 25 to life,
Yea, for killin’ the man who slept with my wife.
Take my guns and hide them away,
Or I’ll have to run for the rest of my days.
Tell the sheriff if he ever catches up to me,
Better lock me up and throw away the keys.
So hold me back ‘fore I cross that line,
And have to serve my 25 to life.
(Verse)
You try to cover up saying that it’s not what it seems,
You try to weave your little lies and make a whole big scene.
You keep saying that it’s all gone wrong,
That it’s been my fault all along.
You can keep saying all those stupid lies,
I guess whatever helps you sleep at night.
(Pre-chorus)
You can point your finger, you can call me insane,
But you’re the one that put this devil in my veins.
I’m one bad decision from losin’ my life,
So somebody stop me before I cross that line.
(Chorus)
Lord help me ‘cause I’m gonna get 25 to life,
Yea, for killin’ the man who slept with my wife.
Take my guns and hide them away,
Or I’ll have to run for the rest of my days.
Tell the sheriff if he ever catches up to me,
Better lock me up and throw away the keys.
So hold me back ‘fore I cross that line,
And have to serve my 25 to life.
(Bridge)
How did this marriage fall apart so much?
I never expected to feel this crush.
Now there’s a devil boiling inside of me,
Begging to let it out so it can go on a spree.
So hold me back ‘fore I do something I can’t take back,
Cause that life sentence ain’t lookin so bad.
(Chorus)
Lord help me ‘cause I’m gonna get 25 to life,
Yea, for killin’ the man who slept with my wife.
Take my guns and hide them away,
Or I’ll have to run for the rest of my days.
Tell the sheriff if he ever catches up to me,
Better lock me up and throw away the keys.
So hold me back ‘fore I cross that line,
And have to serve my 25 to life.
Lord help me ‘cause I’m gonna get 25 to life,
Yea, for killin’ the man who slept with my wife.
Take my guns and hide them away,
Or I’ll have to run for the rest of my days.
Tell the sheriff if he ever catches up to me,
Better lock me up and throw away the keys.
So hold me back ‘fore I cross that line,
And have to serve my 25 to life.
