Ten To Life Lyrics - Singles - Royal Hunt

Sun's comin' up and news starts spreadin' around. 

Yesterday's gone, and you man I had to gun down, down, down. 

Hey mister "know it all" - what the hell you gonna do? 

When a jerk like that takes a swing at you. 

You'll run for cover, you'll spit him in the eye, 

You'll pull the trigger! - don't tell me lies... 

My mother said straight way's build on pride, yeah. 

If wishes were horses then beggars would be ride, and ride, ride, ride. 

Hey mister "know it all" - what the hell you gonna do? 

When a jerk like that takes a swing at you. 

You'll call it even, you'll desperately weep, 

You'll pull the trigger! - and nail that creep... 

Ten to life - now the crime is done. 

So long - I'm too far gone... 

Ten to life - from a judge so fine, 

Best man - that money can buy... 

Took a shot but I've failed, 

Now I'm dying in jail. 

And it cuts like a knife, 

I'm gettin' Ten To Life... 

Just like a dream they busted me and put me away, 

Over the hills and down to the slammer to stay. 

Hey mister "know it all" - what the hell you gonna do? 

When a jerk like that takes a swing at you. 

You'll turn another cheek, take livin' in disgrace, 

You'll pull the trigger - get off of my face...
