Kill That Man - Jason Charles Miller

I’m gonna make that final walk, down that wretched lonesome hallway

Gonna take my final meal before they sit me in the chair

Gonna have some preacher man who’ve I’ve never known before

Take me by the hand and tell me I’ll soon walk with Jesus

When I kill that man

When I kill that man

I’ll get up on the stand

Tell them all just how I planned

To kill that man

To kill that man

The judge he will command

And I’ll ride off to the land of no return

My mother will be there, with her quiet understanding

My brothers will be there, with their judging eyes of stone

My father will be there, wondering what he could have done to change

This son who finally broke, and just reached out and had to choke

When I kill that man

When I kill that man

I’ll get up on the stand

Tell them all just how I planned

To kill that man

To kill that man

The judge he will command

And my soul will leave this land

The warden will glance at the phone and watch to give the signal

Waiting for the call that we both know will never come

The witnesses will look away, as my body starts to tremble

Then I’ll lose all restriction as my spirit leaves this shell

When I kill that man

When I kill that man

I’ll get up on the stand

Tell them all just how I planned

To kill that man

To kill that man

The judge he will command

And I’ll ride off to the land of no return
