25 Minutes to Go Full Lyrics
[00:05.94] They're buildin' the gallows outside my cell
[00:14.79] I got twenty five minutes to go
[00:19.98] And in twenty five minutes I'll be in Hell
[00:24.43] I got twenty four minutes to go
[00:29.10] Well, they gave me some beans for my last meal
[00:33.51] With twenty three minutes to go
[00:38.30] And you know nobody's asked me, oh, how I feel
[00:42.67] I got twenty two minutes to go
[00:46.72] So I wrote to the Governor and the whole damned bunch
[00:51.51] With twenty one minutes to go
[00:55.91] And I call up the Mayor, and you know, he's out to lunch
[01:00.19] With twenty more minutes to go
[01:04.67] And the Sheriff says, "Boy, I wanna watch you die"
[01:09.03] With nineteen minutes to go
[01:13.47] So I spit in his face and I kicked him in the eye
[01:17.76] With eighteen minutes to go
[01:23.38]
[01:26.70] Well, I call out to the Warden to take my plea
[01:31.03] With seventeen minutes to go
[01:35.74] He says, "Call me back in a week or three
[01:39.71] You've got sixteen minutes to go"
[01:44.47] Well, my lawyer says he's sorry that he missed my case
[01:48.67] Oh, fifteen minutes to go
[01:53.11] Well if you're so sorry, then come up and take my place
[01:57.67] With fourteen minutes to go
[02:01.63] Well, here comes the padre he's gonna set me free
[02:06.40] With thirteen minutes to go
[02:10.83] And he's talkin' about burnin', you know I feel so fucking cold
[02:15.56] With twelve more minutes to go
[02:20.03] Now they're testin' the trap and it chills my spine
[02:24.19] With eleven minutes to go
[02:28.75] 'Cause the goddamned thing seems to work just fine
[02:32.92] With ten more minutes to go
[02:37.79] I'm waitin' for the pardon, gonna set me free
[02:41.87] With nine more minutes to go
[02:46.56] But this ain't the movies, so to Hell with me
[02:50.47] With eight more minutes to go, ah
[02:57.63]
[02:59.76] Now I'm climbin up the ladder with a scaffold peg
[03:03.92] With seven more minutes to go
[03:08.48] I've better watch my step or I'll break my leg
[03:12.44] With six more minutes to go
[03:17.13] Yeah, my feet on the trap and my head in the noose
[03:21.32] I got five more minutes to go
[03:25.00] Well, c'mon someone and cut me loose
[03:30.08] I got four more minutes to go
[03:34.44] I can see the mountains, I can see the sky
[03:38.87] With three more minutes to go
[03:43.24] And it's too damned pretty for a man to wanna die
[03:47.76] With two more minutes to go
[03:52.27] I can hear the buzzards and I see the crows
[03:56.56] With one more minute to go
[04:01.32] And now I'm swingin' and here I go-o-o-o-o-o-o
[04:12.71]
