Honey, tell the boys I'm coming home I just can't face this alone Tell the boys their daddy's coming home How did it ever come to this? Honey how did it ever come to this? How'd I get involved in bad business? How did I get in such a mess? Honey, tell the boys I'm on my way Been on the road for nearly seven days And I just wanna see your pretty face Been an honest man all of my life
Been an honest worker all of my life I've been true until that awful night When I met some trouble out on 105 Honey I've gone and k**ed a man Things didn't go as they were planned 'Cause someone put that gun in my hand Murder wasn't part of the deal What the hell was I supposed to do? I pulled the trigger or my own life was through
