Fateful Day Lyrics - Singles - Don Walker

Fateful day 

Fateful day 

Fateful day 

Fateful day 

If it hadn't been for whiskey 

I'd be free as any bird 

To fly away so far away 

If they say that I went crazy 

It was triggered by the things 

I overheard that fateful day 

The last thing I remember 

Someone used my mother's name 

I could not turn or walk away 

They say there was a murder 

And the judge and jury said 

I was to blame that fateful day 

Fateful day 

Fateful day 

Fateful day 

Fateful day 

Now I'm sitting in a place 

Where violence is its own reward 

I hug my bones and try to pay 

I got this old prison Bible 

That says vengeance is the Lord's 

And I must pay for that fateful day 

When I think about my mother now 

I know that I have sinned 

I hang my head and start to cry 

There's no way I can change 

The situation that I'm in 

Or the fateful day that I must die 

Fateful day
