Break It To Them Gently

Break it to them gently

When you tell my Mom and Dad

When you see my baby sister

Be as kind as you can

Break it to my Grandma

Who said, that boy is wild and bad

Break it to them gently when you tell 'em that

I won't be coming home again

'Cause I'm running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive

Fightin' for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone

Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive

God I wanna go home

Lord I wish I was home

When you see my lady

With the twinkle in her eyes

Tell it to her softly

And hold her if she cries

Tell her that I love her

And I will till the day I die

Tell it to her gently when you tell her that

I won't be coming home again

I got in too deep with strangers

Thinking they could help me find my way

Nobody warned me of the dangers

And it's always the young and foolish that have to pay

So break it to them gently

When you tell my Mom and Dad

Thank them for the good years

And all the lovin' that I had

Break it to my Grandma

Who said, that boy is wild and bad

Break it to them gently when you tell 'em that

I won't be coming home again

Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive

Fightin' for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone

Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive

Lord I wanna go home

Lord I wanna go home

You gotta break it to them gently

Break it to them gently

You gotta break it to them gently

Gotta really try to roll 'em

You gotta break it to them gently

Gotta really try to soothe them

You gotta really try to soothe them

Gotta really try to roll 'em

You gotta roll it to my Mother

Gotta roll it to my Grandma

Gotta roll the old lady

Roll it to my Mother

Roll it to my Mother

And roll the old lady

Roll it to my Grandma

She's damn near eighty

Roll the old lady

Roll it to my Mother

Roll it to my Mother

Gotta roll the old lady

Roll it to my Mother

She's the real my Mother

And roll the old lady

Roll it to my Grandma

She's damn near eighty

Roll the old lady
