Bob Seger - Death Row LYRICS

Here I am, oh my time's rolling slowly by

21 years old, waiting on my turn to die

Every minute Lord, every minute seems like five

And if it wasn't for the window,

I'd wonder if the world outside was alive

Yeah, smokin cigarettes, drinkin' coffee

And waiting on my last meal, I try to pretend



I try to pretend but this cell is much too real

Oh, I should have left that chick alone

I curse the day, I curse the day she was born, now

Oh the old men they tell me

they tell me love is akin to hate

but before I die, I just gotta get it straight now



Crush out my cigarette, throw away my coffee and scream

Ahhhhhhh, I don't wanna die

Oh, I don't wanna die



Oh, it's too late they'll be comin' for me soon

It's too late to pray, and anyway, God can't see this room

I'm startin' to sweat now, It won't be long now

I can see

They're gonna put me in that chair

They're gonna put me in that chair and that's how the end's gonna be

Yeah, it's gettin cold, it's gettin colder

And I'm startin' to scream, Ahh I don't wanna die

Don't leave me here to die
