I'm writing this letter to you tonight mom and this is the reason I write It's been a long time since I have been home oh I wish I was with you tonight I recall now five long years ago when I left there and I went away I was too young to see I was wrong oh I miss you and dad more each day [ steel ] Don't ever forget in my heart there's regret It's not your fault things turned out this way In the gaveyard's a man that died by my hand We learned lessons but sometimes they lay This morning at dawn I must die for my wrong Mom forgive me the pain I've caused you The time must be near the parson is here and he's praying like you used to do LyricsKeeper
