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 killed 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
