Well swear the truth and nothing but
Is what the bailiff said
Shortly before he asked me
If I shot that boy in the head
Well an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
Is what my Bible read
To tell the truth I don't feel bad
For doing what I did
And this one's for Savanna
My little darling girl
Sorry I wasn't there for you
When he took you from the world
But baby he got what was coming
In a bullet to the head
And I hope the Lord can forgive me
For doing what I did
For doing what I did
I'm here to tell the jury and this court
My confession won't take long
I know you're pressed for time, so I'll make it short
Yes, I understand right from wrong
Well, I was the one that tied his hands
Yes, I was the one that killed that man
If it had been your daughter that he raped
Well I guess you'd understand
I guess you'd understand
And this one's for Savanna
My little darling girl
Sorry I wasn't there for you
When he took you from the world
But baby he got what was coming
In a bullet to the head
And I hope the Lord can forgive me
For doing what I did
For doing what I did
Yeah this one's for Savanna
My little darling girl
Sorry I wasn't there for you
When he took you from the world
But baby he got what was coming
In a bullet to the head
And I hope the Lord can forgive me
For doing what I did
For doing what I did
