<p> </p>
<p><strong>IT’S A TRIAL ON THE JOURNEY OF LIFE, AND HE’S TRYING OUT SOMETHING NEW.</strong></p>
<p><strong>NOW HE’S HEADING, DOWN A DEAD END, AND THERE’S NOTHING ELSE, WE CAN DO.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>THROUGH ALL, OF HIS GROWING YEARS, </p>
<p>HE MADE A LIVING, ON TELLING LIES.</p>
<p>AND EVEN THOUGH, HE IS HONEST NOW, </p>
<p>HIS FAMILY HAS CUT ALL TIES.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>IT’S A TRIAL ON THE JOURNEY OF LIFE, AND HE’S TRYING OUT SOMETHING NEW.</strong></p>
<p><strong>NOW HE’S HEADING, DOWN A DEAD END, AND THERE’S NOTHING ELSE, WE CAN DO.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>THEY SAY HE’S BEEN TAKING, A LOT OF BOOZE AND PILLS,</p>
<p>NOW THEY’VE TAKEN OVER HIS CONTROL.</p>
<p>HE’S NOT IN CHARGE, OF HIS MIND NOW,</p>
<p>HE IS FALLING DEEPER, INTO THE HOLE.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>IT’S A TRIAL ON THE JOURNEY OF LIFE, AND HE’S TRYING OUT SOMETHING NEW.</strong></p>
<p><strong>NOW HE’S HEADING, DOWN A DEAD END, AND THERE’S NOTHING ELSE, WE CAN DO.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>HE GOT MAD, AND WENT ON A KILLING SPREE,</p>
<p>IN FOLSOM PRISON HE’LL DO ABOUT TWENTY YEARS.</p>
<p>HE’S HAD TIME TO PONDER, ABOUT WHAT HE’S DONE,</p>
<p>IT’S AMAZING HOW FAST THAT TIME, DISAPPEARS.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>IT’S A TRIAL ON THE JOURNEY OF LIFE, AND HE’S TRYING OUT SOMETHING NEW.</strong></p>
<p><strong>NOW HE’S HEADING, DOWN A DEAD END, AND THERE’S NOTHING ELSE, WE CAN DO.</strong></p>
<p><strong>IT’S A TRIAL ON THE JOURNEY OF LIFE, AND HE’S TRYING OUT SOMETHING NEW.</strong></p>
<p><strong>NOW HE’S HEADING, DOWN A DEAD END, AND THERE’S NOTHING ELSE, </strong></p>
<p><strong>THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, WE CAN DO.</strong></p>
