I should have gotten you locked up, i should have gone away, but there's no repentance, only bad luck, I should have run you over with my truck.
Now it's only some time, for a lifetime of freedom, who says that crime don't pay? They gonna hear about this tomorrow, from the man who's life I borrowed, I'll tell them that my baby went away,
I'm going to get myself a new dress, I'm going to wash my hands clean, because life's too short for aching, so my baby's life I'm taking, and then I'm gonna find a brand new one for me.
Now I should have got you sent away, I should have locked myself up, but there's no repentance, only a dented truck, and now I guess you're shit out of luck.
You know your spirit only weighs seven grams, I bet you it's no bigger than one of my hands, but my truck it weighs a ton, this I know, because the owners manual in my glove compartment tells me so, it's gonna save me right away from this misery, because my truck against your seven grams will set me free, I'll tell them, my baby went away, I'll just tell them, my baby went away, when the cops come looking my baby went away........
