(Johnny Van Zant/Erik Lundgren/Donnie Van Zant)



Ten years behind these bars

Has made a man out of me

Well, I been kicked around, left on the ground

While you been downtown just walkin' free.



I've been a fool just taking the blame for you

You finally made front page news

you double crossed another man

Took his life with your own hands.



I ain't saying I'm feeling nice

But, now it's your turn to pay the price

I know I'll see you in hell

No more dirty deals.



Five more days and they're gonna strap me in that chair

My only wish is that you could be there

I remember the night when you shot big Lou down

Handed me the gun and said I'll see you around.



I've been a fool just taking the blame for you

You finally made front page news

you double crossed another man

Took his life with your own hands.



I ain't saying I'm feeling nice

But, now it's your turn to pay the price

I know I'll see you in hell

No more dirty deals...
