this is my story and here's how it goes

don't tell nobody cause nobody knows

the government says what i did was wrong

then how come it felt so right

time and time it happened again

years went by and she lost all her friends

nowhere to turn and nowhere to run

she thought her life was done

i looked in her eyes and all i could see

was fuckin pain and misery

she's so unhappy

25, 25 to life

yea 25, 25 to life

I coulda gotted but instead i got me a new wife

25 to life is what i could get

but the look in her eyes i could never forget

i knocked down the door and pulled out my gun

i said grab your things and get your son

the pain in your life will soon be over

the pain in your life will soon be done

i seen a smile come to her face when she heard the sound of the gun

i looked into her eyes and all i could see

was fuckin pain and misery

so unhappy

25, 25 to life

yea 25, 25 to life

25, 25 to life

i coulda gotted but instead i got me a new wife

so we packed up our things and headed out west

for this crime i commited i'll never confess

for once in her life she's happy she even said yes

when i said marry me

that was my story and that's how it goes

i commited murder and nobody knows

25, 25 to life

yea 25, 25 to life

25, 25 to life.

i coulda gotted but instead i got me a new wife
