Lyrics

Death Row
Words and Music by Mark Nesmith

We’re all born with a life sentence
We’re all stuck here doing time
We’re all born with a life sentence
We’re stuck here doing time
There ain’t no chance of parole
There’s no way to get out alive

We’re all living on death row
And there ain’t no court of appeals
We’re all living on death row
There ain’t no court of appeals
You can’t bribe the judge
There ain’t no lawyers making a deal

You won’t know until your sentence is up
You just gotta take it day by day
You won’t know when your sentence is up
You just gotta take it day by day
No matter how hard to try
No matter what words you say

No one can save you now,
But good love might ease your pain
No one can save you,
But good love can ease the pain
The best you can hope for when you’re gone
Is someone remembers your name

We’re all born with a life sentence
We’re all here doing time
We’re all born with a life sentence
We’re all just doing our time
There ain’t no chance of parole
No way to get out alive
