[Verse 1]
All night long, I tried but couldn't sleep
Tried to be a man, tried not to weep
Now, I hear the turning of the key
Silently, the guard motions to me
[Verse 2]
Now, I realize the end is near
And I find I can't control my fear
As I pass the guard, I start to cry
And I whisper, "I don't want to die"
[Verse 3]
Then, from Death Row comes a whisper
"Charlie, be a man"
And I scream, "Just wait 'til your turn then see if you can"
[Verse 4]
Down the hall, they push and carry me
Blind with fright and tears won't let me see
Through a door, and then I stop and stare
'Cause I see it, there it is, the chair
[Verse 5]
Then they strap me in and turn to leave
And the Prison Chaplain says, "Believe
Faith in God will cause Him to forgive"
I have faith, but still I, want to live
All night long, I tried but couldn't sleep
Tried to be a man, tried not to weep
Now, I hear the turning of the key
Silently, the guard motions to me
[Verse 2]
Now, I realize the end is near
And I find I can't control my fear
As I pass the guard, I start to cry
And I whisper, "I don't want to die"
[Verse 3]
Then, from Death Row comes a whisper
"Charlie, be a man"
And I scream, "Just wait 'til your turn then see if you can"
[Verse 4]
Down the hall, they push and carry me
Blind with fright and tears won't let me see
Through a door, and then I stop and stare
'Cause I see it, there it is, the chair
[Verse 5]
Then they strap me in and turn to leave
And the Prison Chaplain says, "Believe
Faith in God will cause Him to forgive"
I have faith, but still I, want to live
