The gavel fell
When the door slammed
She didn't say a word, but I heard 'Go to hell'
So here I am, chained to this bar tab
And doin' my time in this dive
It's my neon holdin' cell Till I find some way to escape the past
I'll be watchin' the world from behind the bars and through the gla**
She handed me down the sentence the day she left
Ninety-nine years to life and stoned to d**h I broke her heart, I plead guilty
I don't wear my regret like a number on my soul
I'd give anything if she'd forgive me
But there's no time off for good behavior, or chance of parole Till I find some way to escape the past
I'll be watchin' the world from behind the bars and through the gla**
She handed me down the sentence the day she left
Ninety-nine years to life and stoned to d**h
And bartender, keep 'em comin' till there's nothin' left
Ninety-nine years to life and stoned to d**h
