I'd Waited for This Day - Helldorado

The day had been too hot to love

Too hot to say goodbye

I kissed my kids and hugged my wife

And wished them a safe ride

I cursed the sky

I felt alone and shed a tear

I’d waited for this day

I couldn’t face another year

It hadn’t helped to pray, no way, no way

I walked upstairs with the keys

That would make my life unfold

And opened up the rifle chest

The barrel was ice cold, ice cold

I found my silver bullet

I warmed it in my hand

I looked around, I shut the door

My heart was pounding like a hunted boar

I crossed the driveway, walked to the shed

This time tomorrow they would find me dead

Find me with a bullet in my head

I lit my last cigarette

But didn’t have the strength to inhale

I was relieved I’d come this far

My alternative to jail, An alternative to jail

I’d lived my life on bail

I couldn’t bare the thought of them

Leaving her daddy’s farm

So my misfortune I would bury

With my tense and shaking arm

A tense and shaking arm

A tense and shaking arm

I knew my life would end like this

I’d waited for this day

I knew that I was bound to fail

I knew how I would pay

I’d waited for this day

I’d waited for this day
