[Verse 1]
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 doing my time in this dive
It's my neon holding cell
[Chorus]
Till I find someway to escape the past
I'll be watching 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
[Verse 2]
I broke her heart, I plead guilty
I 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
[Chorus]
Till I find someway to escape the past
I'll be watching 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
[Chorus]
Bartender keep em coming
Till there's nothing left
Ninety-nine years to life and stoned to d**h
