Eyes Of Death Lyrics - Hank Williams Jr.

They sent me to this prison 

For a crime I did outside 

I killed a man and didn't hang 

But I might as well have died 

For every minute that I live 

I know that death may call 

You see his brother's here with me 

Right inside these walls 

And I don't even know his face 

But I'm sure that he knows mine 

The eyes of death are watchin' me 

Just bidin' his time 

(Oh Lord, he takes his time)

Each night they slam my lonely cell 

And turn the lights down low 

And I can't close my eyes to sleep 

Because somewhere I know 

He's planning how he'll drive the knife 

Into my poundin' heart 

And Lord this just not knowing 

When will tear a man apart 

He's just a number not a name 

And you'll get me from behind 

The eyes of death are watchin' me 

Just bidin' his time 

(Oh Lord, he takes his time) 

Sometimes I think I'll try to walk 

And face the deadly guns 

I'd either die or I'd be free 

To leave this place and run 

Photos 

This man he swore to make me pay 

But he'd rather see me cry 

So he'll just play around with me 

While I wait to die 

No prison ever held the man 

With a sentence just like mine 

The eyes of death are watchin' me 

Just bidin' his time 

(Oh Lord, he takes his time) 

He's bidin' his time 

(Oh Lord, he takes his time) 

He's just bidin' his time
