Break it to them gently when you tell my Mom and Dad |
|
When you see my baby sister be as kind as you can |
|
And break it to my Grandma, who said "That boy's wild and bad" |
|
Break it to them gently when you tell them that I won't be coming home again |
|
Cause I'm running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive |
|
Fightin for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone |
|
Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive |
|
God I wanna go home |
|
Lord I wish I was home |
|
When you see my lady with the twinkle in her eyes |
|
Tell it to her softly and hold her if she cries |
|
Tell her that I love her and I will till the day I die |
|
Break it to her gently when you tell her that I won't be coming home again |
|
I got in too deep with strangers |
|
Thinking they could help me find my way |
|
But nobody warned me of the dangers |
|
And it's always the young and foolish that have to pay |
|
So break it to them gently when you tell my Mom and Dad |
|
Thank them for the good years and all the lovin' that I had |
|
And break it to my Grandma, who said "the boy is wild and bad" |
|
Break it to them gently when you tell 'em that I won't be comin' home again |
|
Cause I'm running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive |
|
Fightin' for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone |
|
Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive |
|
God I wanna go home |
|
Lord I wish I was home |
|
You gotta break it to them gently |
|
You gotta break it to them gently |
|
You gotta really try and soothe them |
|
You gotta really try and soothe them |
|
You gotta roll it to my mother |
|
You gotta roll it to my grandma |
|
Roll the old lady |
|
Roll it to my mother |
|
And my sister and my brother |
|
Roll the old lady |
|
Roll it to my grandma |
|
Because she's damn near 80 |
|
And Roll the old lady |
|
Roll it to my mother |
|
My sister and my brother |
|
Break it to them gently when you tell them |
