25 to Life

[Verse 1]
The way that I was livin'
There was always somethin' missin'
I was sippin' whiskey wishin', a girl like you was on my arm
The way that I was headed had dire consequences
And I never learned my lesson until you got a hold of my heart

[Chorus]
I've been on the run from New York to Texas
But you had me locked down from the first very first sentence
I'll turn myself in tattoo it on my arm
You're the prettiest thing that I've seen behind a bar
Don't have to ask me twice to get me confessin'
I'm guilty of stealin' a little slice of heaven
I'll do every bit of time 'til my last breath is through
'Cause if loving you's a crime give me twenty-five to life with you

[Verse 2]
Lovin' you is freedom
That I never knew I needed
A dream I can believe in that you've got me comin' clean
You’re all that I want
Everything to me
I'll give you my heart and throw away the key

[Chorus]
'Cause I've been on the run from New York to Texas
But you had me locked down from the first very first sentence
I'll turn myself in tattoo it on my arm
You're the prettiest thing that I've seen behind a bar
Don't have to ask me twice to get me confessin'
I'm guilty of stealin' a little slice of heaven
I'll do every bit of time 'til my last breath is through
'Cause if loving you's a crime give me twenty-five to life with you

[Bridge]
The longer the better
'Cause even forever
Ain't long enough together

[Chorus]
Yeah I've been on the run from New York to Texas
But you had me locked down from the first very first sentence
I'll turn myself in tattoo it on my arm
You're the prettiest thing that I've seen behind a bar
Don't have to ask me twice to get me confessin'
I'm guilty of stealin' a little slice of heaven
I'll do every bit of time 'til my last breath is through
'Cause if loving you's a crime give me twenty-five to life with you

[Outro]
Oh give me twenty-five to life with you
