[00:15.29]Break it to them gently when you tell my Mom and Dad
[00:21.67]When you see my baby sister be as kind as you can
[00:28.68]And break it to my Grandma,
[00:32.45]who said "That boy''''s wild and bad"
[00:36.49]Break it to them gently when you tell them
[00:39.43]that I won''''t be coming home again

[00:44.29]Cause I''''m running with a gun
[00:45.80]and it isn''''t any fun as a fugitive
[00:48.37]Fightin for my life
[00:52.97]and I don''''t know if I''''ll make it alone
[00:57.89]Running with a gun and it isn''''t any fun as a fugitive
[01:04.88]God I wanna go home
[01:08.07]Lord I wish I was home

[01:23.38]When you see my lady with the twinkle in her eyes
[01:29.42]Tell it to her softly and hold her if she cries
[01:36.82]Tell her that I love her and I will till the day I die
[01:44.77]Break it to her gently when you tell her
[01:47.53]that I won''''t be coming home again

[01:51.24]I got in too deep with strangers
[01:58.97]Thinking they could help me find my way
[02:07.35]But nobody warned me of the dangers
[02:12.80]And it''''s always the young
[02:16.06]and foolish that have to pay

[02:22.22]So break it to them gently
[02:25.36]when you tell my Mom and Dad
[02:28.77]Thank them for the good years
[02:32.43]and all the lovin’ that I had
[02:36.01]And break it to my Grandma,
[02:39.45]who said "the boy is wild and bad"
[02:43.59]Break it to them gently when you tell ''''em
[02:46.68]that I won''''t be comin’ home again

[02:50.83]Cause I''''m running with a gun
[02:52.93]and it isn''''t any fun as a fugitive
[02:57.80]Fightin’ for my life
[03:00.11]and I don''''t know if I''''ll make it alone
[03:05.02]Running with a gun
[03:07.22]and it isn''''t any fun as a fugitive
[03:12.04]God I wanna go home
[03:14.96]Lord I wish I was home
[03:19.43]You gotta break it to them gently
[03:22.33]You gotta break it to them gently
[03:32.93]You gotta really try and soothe them
[03:39.96]You gotta really try and soothe them
[03:47.41]You gotta roll it to my mother
[03:51.34]You gotta roll it to my grandma
[03:54.66]Roll the old lady
[03:56.45]Roll it to my mother
[03:57.96]And my sister and my brother
[04:01.14]Roll the old lady
[04:03.57]Roll it to my grandma
[04:06.04]Because she’s damn near 80
[04:09.02]And Roll the old lady
[04:10.76]Roll it to my mother
[04:12.94]My sister and my brother
[04:17.10]Break it to them gently when you tell them
[04:20.08]That I wont be coming home again
