(Johnny Van Zant/Erik Lundgren/Donnie Van Zant)

Ten years behind these bars
Has made a man out of me
Well, I been kicked around, left on the ground
While you been downtown just walkin' free.

I've been a fool just taking the blame for you
You finally made front page news
you double crossed another man
Took his life with your own hands.

I ain't saying I'm feeling nice
But, now it's your turn to pay the price
I know I'll see you in hell
No more dirty deals.

Five more days and they're gonna strap me in that chair
My only wish is that you could be there
I remember the night when you shot big Lou down
Handed me the gun and said I'll see you around.

I've been a fool just taking the blame for you
You finally made front page news
you double crossed another man
Took his life with your own hands.

I ain't saying I'm feeling nice
But, now it's your turn to pay the price
I know I'll see you in hell
No more dirty deals...
