Death Row

Words and Music by Mark Nesmith

We’re all born with a life sentence

We’re stuck here doing time

We’re all born with a life sentence

We’re stuck here doing time

There ain’t no chance of parole

There’s no way to get out alive

We’re all living on death row

And there ain’t no court of appeals

We’re all living on death row

There ain’t no court of appeals

You can’t bribe the judge

There ain’t no lawyers to make a deal

You don’t know when your sentence is up

You just gotta take it day by day

You don’t know when your sentence is up

You just gotta take it day by day

No matter how hard to try

No matter what words you say

No one can save you now,

But good love can ease the pain

No one can save you,

But good love can ease the pain

The best you can hope for when you’re gone

Is someone remembers your name

We’re all born with a life sentence

We’re all here doing time

We’re all born with a life sentence

We’re all here doing time

There ain’t no chance of parole

There’s no way you’re getting out alive
