  • Hey babe what we gonna do
    No look behind me glances
    Straight time this time
    We'll take our chances
    Darling it's been so long
    Every lonely hour
    What the sinner pulls the trigger
    And the world turns sour

    *whisper in the wind
    Locked in silence
    Profession of violence
    Whisper on the wind
    Locked in silence
    Profession of violence

    Try to pick up the pieces
    Maybe move away
    But the lifer
    Was only yesterday
    Down the halls of justice
    The echoes never fade
    Notches on my gun
    Another debt is paid

    * repeat
