It was Amjust a little while past the Emsunset strip
They Cfound the girl?s Gbody in an oDpen pit
Her Ammouth was sewn shut, but her Emeyes were still wide
GCazing through the Gfog to the otDher side
They bookedAm me on a whim and threw me deEmep in jail
With no bCail, sitting sileGnt on a rustDy pail
Just gaziAmng at tEmhe marks on the opposite wall
RememberiCng thGe music of my lovDer?s call
So youAm make no mistake I know just Emwhat it takes
To puCll a man?s soul bGack from heaDven?s gates
I?ve beAmen wandering in the dark abouEmt as long as sin
But tChey say it?s neveGr too late tDo start again
Oh Amwhen, oh Emwhen
Will the Cspirit come a Gcalling for my Dsoul to send?
Oh Amwhen, oh Emwhen
Will the Ckeys to the Gkingdom be Dmine again?
It wAmas dark as the grave, it was Emjust about three
When Cthe warden with hGis key came Dto set me free
TheyAm gave me five dollars and a sEmecondhand suit
A pisCtol and a hat andG a worn out Dflute
So IAm took a bus down to the Rio GEmrande
And IC shot a man down Gon the edge Dof town
ThenAm I stole me a horse and I rodEme it around
Til tChe sheriff pulledG me in and hDe sat me down
He sAmaid you make no mistake I knoEmw just what it takes
To puCll a man?s soul bGack from heaDven?s gates
I?ve beAmen wandering in the dark abouEmt as long as sin
But tChey say it?s neveGr too late tDo start again
OhAm when, ohEm when
Will the Cspirit come a Gcalling for my Dsoul to send?
Oh Amwhen, oh Emwhen
Will the Ckeys to the Gkingdom be Dmine again?
Well the Amsheriff let me go with a knifEme and a song
So I Ctook the first trGain up to OrDegon
And I Amkilled the first man that I cEmame upon
Because the devil works quick, you know it don?t take long
Then IAm went to the river ford to taEmke a swim
You kCnow that black riGver water isD as black as sin
And I Amwashed myself clean as a newbEmorn babe
And tChen I picked up aG rock for toD sharpen my blade
Oh Amwhen, oh Emwhen
Will the Cspirit come a Gcalling for my Dsoul to send?
Oh Amwhen, oh Emwhen
Will the Ckeys to the Gkingdom be Dmine again?
OhAm when, ohEm when
Will the Cspirit come a Gcalling for my Dsoul to send?
Oh Amwhen, oh Emwhen
Will the Ckeys to the Gkingdom be Dmine again?
