Death or Glory

This song's called death or glory
Sorry mom in advance
One two three

Mama I'm so sorry
I wouldn't ever have known
But I need to tell my story
I need to be truthful and show

Anyone else that's still in the struggle
You are not alone
Well it's truly death or glory
Starting now let's overcome

Mama I'm so sorry
It's true I've done it again
When I promised you and everyone
I wouldn't use that heroin

Well I didn't mean to lie
You see I've got my hands tied
Sex, drugs and rock and roll
Is the life I chose
Now I'm payin' the price

Well it's true this is the last time
And I'll say it time again
I even wrote you all a song
Go and check number ten
She just seemed so nice
Sweet like sugar, bad like spice
My brain has deceived me
I'm a fool to think
That it won't be twice

Well I just wanna die
No really I wish I was dead
So I could be with all my friends
I was never invited

I hope I can bring my new friend
What you thought I was done with her?
Sadly no, but I do wish for a happy end

Well this new chapter's just begun
So like I said let's overcome
And if one day I stop writing
You'll know my days are gone
Well I'm so sorry mama
Dead is your only son
And bury me with my banjo
Well I'm so sorry mama
Dead is your only son
And bury me with my banjo

Well I've got one more thing to say before I go
Something I was taught by mama
Never give up hope
You are loved by somebody, I promise you
And I know that I've lied before
But today I speak the truth

So promise me this is the last time
And say it time again
Go and write your own song
With a very happy end
Everybody's got a song
Don't leave unwritten or unsung
And bury me with my banjo
Well I'm so sorry mama
Dead is your only son
And bury me with my banjo

Well I'm so sorry mama
Dead is your only son
And bury me with my banjo
When that heroin has won
