A Right to Live

I must thank lord

In my hour of need

I've given way to a better man

But i ain't been free

To push the hour here

In this soul of mine

I've burned my bridges

And i'm satisfied

The preacher's due here

In an hour or so

To give me reasons for

The things i know

I might have been careless and i

I might have been blind

If i'm the guilty, i'm satisfied

Oh woman, why did you

Do me wrong?

Sending me down and

I just can¡®t get along

When daybreak comes and

I've reached the end of the line

I have a right to live

And i'm left to die

It all seems so hazy now

It seems so long ago

She hid the things she'd done

Or things i should know

What was i to do for

The hurting here inside

I kill for love but the ...

I have a right to live

When i'm left to die

Oh, woman

I have a right to live ...
