Lyrics Life in Prison (takes 1 & 2, Gram Parsons vocal) - The Byrds
The
jury
found
the
verdict
first
degree
They
swore
I
planned
her
death
to
be
I
prayed
they′d
sentence
me
to
die
But
they
wanted
me
to
live
and
I
know
why
So
I'd
do
life
in
prison
for
the
wrongs
I′ve
done
And
I
pray
every
night
for
death
to
come
My
life
will
be
a
burden
every
day
If
I
could
die,
my
pain
might
go
away
With
trembling
hands
I
killed
my
darling
wife
Because
I
loved
her
more
than
life
My
love
for
her
will
last
a
long,
long
time
But
I'd
rather
die
than
live
to
lose
my
mind
And
I'll
do
life
in
prison
for
the
wrongs
I′ve
done
And
I
pray
every
night
for
death
to
come
My
life
will
be
a
burden
every
day
If
I
could
die,
my
pain
might
go
away
If
I
could
die,
my
pain
might
go
away
