Papa said goodbye to the glass on the prison phone
Mama never cried just said boy
You a bad man's son
Under a new moon sky
My headlights cut the night
On this dark road to nowhere
It's just a matter of time
Before I have to pay the price
For what I've done back there
I am bound for my fate
I got bad man's blood in my veins
I told the teller man
To put the money in the bag
My hand was shakin' scared
The shot took me by surprise
I saw the fear in his eyes
I just left him layin' there
I am bound for my fate
I got bad man's blood in my veins
If I was a praying man
I would pray for a friend
To help me through this long long night
They're coming to take me away
In the morning come daybreak
Hang my head and sigh
I am bound for my fate
I got bad man's blood in my veins
