I’ll tell you my story… it won’t take me long

As my time is too rapidly wastin’

I squandered my life on wine women and wrong

Now my last meal I’m sittin’ here tastin’

I’d one too many one hot night down at ‘The Palomino’

If I could take it back I woulda drank some cappuccino

A single woman caught my eye though I was seein’ double

I kinda wish now I’d been blind ’cause all she caused was trouble

I parked beside her at the bar… an empty stool stood waitin’

How could I know her mean old man she sat anticipatin’

That jealous fool bent all the rules… the mucker sucker-punched me

And while I laid out on the floor with muddy boots he crunched me

I’ll tell you my story… it won’t take me long

As my time is too rapidly wastin’

I squandered my life on wine women and wrong

Now my last meal I’m sittin’ here tastin’

I’ll skip the ugly details and fast-forward to the endin’

I dragged myself up off the floor and sent that dude descendin’

I broke his nose and cracked his jaw and set his teeth to flyin’

Then in my wrath I shot him… do the math… he wound up dyin’

I testified to tell my side… I swore I wasn’t lyin’

The jury didn’t buy my fake remorse or dry-eye cryin’

The judge pronounced me guilty with no prospect of redemption

But kindly offered me my choice of hangin’ or injection

I’ll wrap up my story… it won’t take me long

As my time is too rapidly wastin’

I squandered my life on wine women and wrong

Now my last meal I’m sittin’ here tastin’

I’ve polished-off my dinner now… roast turkey like Thanksgivin’

I know this ain’t November but by then I won’t be livin’

I took my pick of gourmet fare… the Governor was buying

’Cause at the stroke of midnight this ‘fine-diner’ he’ll be fryin’

I’ve told you my story… it didn’t take long

But I’m out of time left to be wasted

I squandered my life on wine women and wrong

And my last meal I’ve finally tasted
