Suicide Lyrics - 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 I'd 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 won't 

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 can't 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 it's cheating with my best friend 

She betrayed the love and the baby I gave her
