Stoned to Death

The gavel fell
When the door slammed
She didn't say a word, but I heard 'Go to hell'
So here I am, chained to this bar tab
And doin' my time in this dive
It's my neon holdin' cell

Till I find some way to escape the past
I'll be watchin' the world from behind the bars and through the glass
She handed me down the sentence the day she left
Ninety-nine years to life and stoned to death

I broke her heart, I plead guilty
I don't wear my regret like a number on my soul
I'd give anything if she'd forgive me
But there's no time off for good behavior, or chance of parole

Till I find some way to escape the past
I'll be watchin' the world from behind the bars and through the glass
She handed me down the sentence the day she left
Ninety-nine years to life and stoned to death
And bartender, keep 'em comin' till there's nothin' left
Ninety-nine years to life and stoned to death
