Story Behind The Song
This is my first version of this song. I did a funny, faster version because when most people here the title they think it's going to be a faster and more light hearted song.
Song Description
A song about a person who feels he's trapped in a marriage and there is really no way out of it. I think many people can relate to this song when divorce is so high in this country.

Lyrics
I'm Facing Wife without Parole
The preacher said until death do us part
That vow came at the expense of my heart
9 long years and our life has changed
Diminished love but wearing shiny rings
Once was a palace built around our love
Is now a fortress behind prison walls
Now the days go slowly by
And it's my heart that's doing time
Chorus
I'm facing wife without parole
Freedom traded for a band of gold
I loved her once upon a time
A faded memory left behind
In these shackles of this life
I'm facing wife without parole
Face the warden first sign of light
That same person had been the love of my life
And it's true I loved her long ago
But for what reason I still don't know
And though I'm grateful for what I've got
It doesn't make up for what I've lost
A mirage of material things hides my pain
But a life sentence all the same
Chorus
Ac 2008 David W. Edwards
