Break it to them gently when you tell my mom and dadWhen you see my baby sister, be as kind as you canBreak it to my grandma, said that boy's wild and badBreak it to them gently when you tell ?emThat I won't be coming home againCause I'm runnin? with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitiveFightin' for my life and I don't know if I'll make it aloneRunnin' with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitiveGod I wanna go home, lord I wish I was homeWhen you see my lady with the twinkle in her eyesTell it to her softly and hold her if she criesTell her that I love her and I will till the day I dieTell it to her gently when you tell herThat I won't be coming home againI got in too deep with strangersThinkin? they could help me find my wayNobody warned me of the dangersAnd it?s always the young and foolish that have to paySo break it to them gently when you tell my mom and dadThank them for the good years and all the lovin' that I hadBreak it to my grandma who said the boy is wild and badBreak it to them gently when you tell themThat I won't be coming home againI'm runnin' with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitiveFightin' for my life and I don?t know if I'll make it aloneRunnin' with a gun and it isn?t any fun as a fugitiveLord I wanna go home, lord I wanna go homeYou gotta break it to them gentlyABreak it to them gentlyYou gotta break it to them gentlyAGotta really try to roll 'emYou gotta break it to them gentlyAGotta really try to sooth themGotta really try to sooth themAGotta really try to roll themYou gotta roll it to my motherAGotta roll it to my grandma, gotta roll the old ladyRoll it to my motherARoll it to my mother and roll the old ladyRoll it to my grandmaAShe's damn near eighty, roll the old ladyRoll it to my motherARoll it to my mother, gotta roll the old ladyRoll it to my motherAMy sister and my mother and roll the old ladyRoll it to my grandmaAShe's damn near eighty, roll the old lady...
