[00:00.00]Life In Prison (rehearsal - take #11) - The Byrds
[00:08.28]The jury found the verdict first degree
[00:14.48]
[00:17.35]They swore I planned her death to be
[00:22.07]
[00:24.61]I prayed they'd sentence me to die
[00:30.52]
[00:32.68]But they wanted me to live and I know why
[00:38.70]
[00:40.07]I'd do life in prison for the wrongs I've done
[00:47.62]
[00:48.31]And I pray every night for death to come
[00:54.82]My life will be a burden every day
[01:00.94]
[01:03.39]If I could die my pain might go away
[01:10.70]
[01:41.75]With trembling hands I killed my darling wife
[01:48.46]
[01:50.42]Because I loved her more than life
[01:56.65]
[01:57.69]My love for her will last a long long time
[02:04.39]
[02:05.55]I'd rather die than live to lose my mind
[02:12.36]
[02:13.11]And I'll do life in prison for the wrongs I've done
[02:21.05]
[02:21.73]And I pray every night for death to come
[02:27.69]
[02:28.24]My life will be a burden every day
[02:35.52]
[02:36.60]If I could die my pain might go away
[02:42.82]
[02:43.99]If I could die my pain might go away
