Kill That Man

[Verse 1]
Gonna make that final walk down that wretched, lonesome hallway
Gonna take my final meal before they sit me in the chair
Gonna have some preacher man who I've never known before
Take me by the hand and tell me I'll soon walk with Jesus

[Chorus]
When I kill that man
When I kill that man
I'll get up on the stand
Tell them all just how I planned to kill that man
To kill that man
The judge, he will command
And I'll ride off to the land of no return

[Verse 2]
My mother will be thеre with her quiet undеrstandin'
My brothers will be there with their judgin' eyes of stone
My father will be there, wonderin' what he could have done
To change this son who finally broke, just reached out and had to choke

[Chorus]
When I kill that man
When I kill that man
I'll get up on the stand
Tell them all just how I planned to kill that man
To kill that man
The judge, he will command
And my soul will leave this land

[Bridge]
The warden will glance at the phone and watch to give the signal
Waitin' for the call that we both know will never come
The witnesses will look away as my body starts to tremble
Then I'll lose all restriction as my spirit leaves this shell

[Chorus]
When I kill that man
When I kill that man
I'll get up on the stand
Tell them all just how I planned to kill that man
To kill that man
The judge, he will command
And I'll ride off to the land of no return
