Suicide Lyrics

Suicide lyrics

By David Allan Coe







STANDING IN THE BATHROOM WITH A GUN IN MY HAND







PULLING ON THE TRIGGER JUST AS FAST AS I CAN







I CAN HEAR HER SCREAM AS SHE REACHES FOR THE LOVER BESIDE HER







MARRIED BY THE BIBLE SHE WAS ONLY SIXTEEN







I WAS FRESH FROM PRISON TRYING TO FOLLOW MY DREAM







WHO'D EVER THOUGHT ID BE THE JUDGE AND THE JURY THAT TRIED HER?







 







BLOOD SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE WALL







THE GUN STILL SMOKING AS I WATCH IT FALL







I RUN THROUGH THE DOOR WHILE THE SIRENS BLOW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY







MAYBE THEY'LL CATCH ME AND MAYBE THEY WONT







IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER I JUST HAD TO DO THINGS MY WAY







 







YEAH YEAH







I MIGHT JUST COMMIT SUICIDE







YEAH YEAH







 







HE'S THE ONLY MAN THAT I TRUSTED WITH MY LIFE







I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY HE RAN OFF WITH MY WIFE







NOW THAT THEY'RE DEAD WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO THE BABY?







THE STATE WILL HAVE TO RAISE HER JUST THE WAY THEY DID ME







HER MOTHER WANTED FREEDOM AND I JUST SET HER FREE







SHE SHOULD HAVE NEVER LET ME SEE THAT SHE WAS NO LONGER A LADY







 







SHE CALLED OUT MY NAME JUST BEFORE SHE DIED







SHE SWORE SHE LOVED ME AND I ALMOST CRIED







WITH TREMBLING HANDS I REACHED OUT AND TRIED TO SAVE HER







CHEATING IS SOMETHING I CAN UNDERSTAND







BUT NOT WHEN ITS CHEATING WITH MY BEST FRIEND







SHE BETRAYED THE LOVE AND THE BABY I GAVE HER
