   It was a cold December

     I wept day and night

In a steel-toed rage, made a big mistake
Now I'll be doing time [Pre-chorus]

 What I did, I can't deny

Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade

I remember it so well

The night I sent that boy to Hell

Lord, I'm sorry for the error of my ways

 They sent me on a mission

     Out to earn my stripes

          F                                   C   G
Should've known damn well when the curbstomp fell
Things would never be right [Pre-chorus]
