Life Insurance

The countdown has begun Tomorrow night at the setting of the sun The government has me being punished for something I didn't do I pray the same thing doesn't happen to you I've insisted you have the wrong man I have life insurance money of 200 grand I told her to divorce me and move on I will be six feet under in two more dawns I requested lethal injection, but they are giving me the chair I have always had trouble, but this is my worst to compare Tomorrow at this time they will announce dead man walking Between the governor and my lawyer, I hope there is some talking During a time like this, I wonder where is our maker I must be prepared to see the undertaker I have requested my last meal Some chops and ribs fresh from a grill Now I must say good bye, it's my time to go The preacher tells me may the Lord have mercy on your soul I have always had a fear for the unknown As the minutes pass by, it has grown I will now say my final prayer At the pearl gates, hopefully my soul will arrive there As my wife enjoys the insurance money Life sometimes isn't so funny
