I was born a disciplined child Never knew how I got so wild I was born a disciplined child Never knew how I got so wild When I used to go to school They taught me the golden rule They said "Son you better know yourself 'Cause in times to come, it's gonna be dread" I didn't heed this advice Now I've got to pay the price I didn't heed this advice Now I've got to pay the price Now I'm on d**h row, only one place to go Now I'm on d**h row, only one place to go Oh ma, I wish you were around To see how they tracked me down Oh ma, I wish you were around To see how they tracked me down They had me cornered in a little alley A thousand shot guns over me I never stood a chance, I didn't want to die I had to reach for the sky Now I'm on d**h row, only one place to go Now I'm on d**h row, only one place to go
