Lyrics

I held up the liquor store
All the people dropped to the floor
When I pulled the gun out
Out from my pouch

The store clerk pulled out his gun
Then he told someone 
To go hit the alarm
So I shot him caused him harm

Chorus
I killed him 
I had no choice 
It wasn’t my fault
It was me or it was him

I ran away 
Lived another day
I caused all that racket 
Now im going to hell in a hand basket

Verse 2
He could have stayed down
On the ground 
With everyone else
But he had to do something else

I know it was my fault 
But its not gonna help
If I plead innocent
To a crime I did commit

Chorus

Interlude
Im going to hell
In a hand basket
Cause im going to hell 
In a hand basket

Chorus x2
