Don Walker - Fateful Day lyrics

Fateful day Fateful day Fateful day Fateful day If it hadn't been for whiskey I'd be free as any bird To fly away so far away If they say that I went crazy It was triggered by the things I overheard that fateful day The last thing I remember Someone used my mother's name I could not turn or walk away They say there was a murder And the judge and jury said I was to blame that fateful day Fateful day Fateful day Fateful day Fateful day Now I'm sitting in a place Where violence is its own reward I hug my bones and try to pay I got this old prison Bible That says vengeance is the Lord's And I must pay for that fateful day When I think about my mother now I know that I have sinned I hang my head and start to cry There's no way I can change The situation that I'm in Or the fateful day that I must die Fateful day
