A Death Row inmate awaits his fate
The governor says it's time to clean the slate
In his final hours on Death Row
He wonders, " Where did all of my friends go?"

Some friends died in crashes racing their cars
Others were shot after fights in bars
Several were killed by jealous men
For cheating with their wives again.

Like him, many chose a life of crime
They're in various jails doing their time
One way or another you pay for your sin
Either in Hell or in the pen.

Many became addicted to crack cocaine
Putting loved ones through emotional strain
Now the inmate nears his last intersection
Just minutes away from lethal injection.
