MY LAST LETTER

Slow Bluegrass / Male vocal.
This song's about a death row convicts last letter to his wife on the night he's to be executed.
Please follow along with the lyrics:
When I was young
And I owned a gun
I wish I'd of left it behind
I got in a fight
Took another mans life
And now I'm waiting for my time
(CHORUS)
Oh now what I wouldn't give
For just one more night to live
If only to have you by my side
By the time you read these words
I'm sure you will have heard
That I paid my debt and I've died
I wanted to write
On this my last night
Before I hear those footsteps down the hall
I wanted you to know
That I loved you so
And I'm sorry I ruined it all
(CHORUS)
(BRIDGE)
These words that I've penned
So close to the end
Are the last things I wanted to say
(CHORUS)
(TAG)
By the time you read these words
I'm sure you will have heard
That I paid my debt and I've died
Yes I've paid my debt when I died
