Pack my bags, packed it in
Never coming back here again
Paid my dues and stayed in line
Sixteen years I served my time

Now what I did I do regret
All the days that I had wept
Up all night and you can bet
I’ve got to live with that

See the lights of downtown
That’s where I shot that old man down
Now the heat’s calling me
Caused my insanity

Now when I walked and people say
"How could he just walk away?"
Had a gun, no daughter, no son
One life is gone and one begun

What I did I do regret
All the days that I had wept
Up all night and you can bet
I’ve got to live with that

See the lights of downtown
That’s where I shot that old man down
Now the heat is calling me
Caused my insanity

No, I can’t run away
I can’t hide
Well, it’s a slow death
For me inside

See the lights of downtown
That’s where I shot that old man down
Now the heat is calling me
Caused my insanity
