I've Gotta Get A Message To You Lyrics
Said, "Come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile.
Now for once in your life you're alone,
but you ain't got a dime, there's no time for the phone."
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on.
but if I broke her heart, won't you tell her I'm sorry.
And for once in my life I'm alone,
and I've got to let her know just in time before I go.
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on.
and it's only her love that keeps me wearing this dirt.
Now I'm crying but deep down inside,
well I did it to him, now it's my turn to die.
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on.
The song is about a man sentenced to death for(understandebly)killing the lover of his wife. Even so, he thinks it's only fair that he recieves this punishment for his crime.
It's strange that in some parts of the USA, you may legaly shoot down any
stranger that enters your back yard, but not the guy that bones your wife.
Beats me!
@Marc Salvo I don't think it's about his wife cheating on him. He sings: "But if I broke her heart, won't you tell her I'm sorry. And for once in my life I'm alone, And I've got to let her know just in time before I go." He killed this guy and he worries that he broke her heart. It could be another one of those "He talked trash about my love and I killed him for it. Now her heart is broken because I over reacted, killed a man, got convicted of 1st degree murder, put on death row and now I'm...

Now her heart is broken because I over reacted, killed a man, got convicted of 1st degree murder, put on death row and now I'm going to be executed." Think about the song Indiana Wants me. "If a man ever needed dying, he did No one had a right to say, what he said about you And it's so cold and lonely here without you Out there, the law is coming, I've been so tired of running................I hope this letter finds its way to you Forgive me love for the shame I've put you through and all the tears Hang on love to the memories of those happy years Red lights are flashing around me, good Lord, it looks like they found me."
@Marc Salvo It is actually very easy to understand once you understand that your back yard and home are jointly owned by your wife, and she is not owned by you. If your wife invites someone into your bed, she is inviting them into your and her bed jointly. If you kill him you are killing an invited guest. That would make you a murderer. If however you kill someone that breaks into your yard and your wife is scared to death of being murdered then you can shoot the trespasser if your and your wife's lives are in dangers....

If however there is no danger to you then you run the risk of a jury finding you guilty of at least manslaughter.
nice political rant that i agree with but that aside, beautiful song
It's strange that in some parts of the USA, you may legaly shoot down any stranger that enters your back yard, but not the guy that bones your wife. I don't understand, with all the fuss (MPAA, privacy, DMCA, terrorism, FBI), ppl still say USA is the greatest and country of freedom.
@bleedingpegasus, ppl are right the USA is a great place to live. You can not shoot a man that bones your wife because your wife is not owned by you like your yard is. In fact even your yard is jointly owned by you and your wife.
