Текст, перевод и аккорды “Billy Austin”
- My name is billy austin Im twenty-nine years old I was born in oklahoma Quarter cherokee Im told Dont remember oklahoma Been so long since I left home Seems like Ive always been in prison Like Ive always been alone Didnt mean to hurt nobody Never thought Id cross that line I held up a filling station Like Id done a hundred times The kid done like I told him He lay face down on the floor Guess Ill never know what made me Turn and walk back through that door The shot rang out like thunder My ears rang like a bell No one came runnin So I called the cops myself Took their time to get there And I guess I coulda run I knew I should be feeling something But I never shed tear one I didnt even make the papers cause I only killed one man But my trial was over quickly And then the long hard wait began Court appointed lawyer Couldnt look me in the eye He just stood up and closed his briefcase When they sentenced me to die Now my waitins over As the final hour drags by I aint about to tell you That I dont deserve to die But theres twenty-seven men here Mostly black, brown and poor Most of em are guilty Who are you to say for sure? So when the preacher comes to get me And they shave off all my hair Could you take that long walk with me Knowing hell is waitin there Could you pull that switch yourself sir With a sure and steady hand Could you still tell youself That youre better than I am My name is billy austin Im twenty-nine years old I was born in oklahoma Quarter cherokee Im told
