Though I'm only eighteen years I feel as though I'm forty
And as I sit here all the days of my life pass before me
And I've got crimes I've done you ask yourself how was I able
And though I may look awful scared I'm feeling kind of peaceful

It's alright
I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna feel alright
I'm gonna be alright
It's no shame
I've got myself to blame
And maybe you would learn
If you could watch me burn

Though I'm only young in age I have a lovely daughter
And when she grows up could you say that my last thought was of her
She means all the world to me
The one thing I've been sure of
The only girl I'd ever love who never could break my heart

It's alright
I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna feel alright
I'm gonna be alright
It's no shame
I've got myself to blame
And maybe you would learn
If you could watch me burn (burn)
Ahh, ahh, ahh...

As the time draws near I see the nervous looks around me
Asking if there's anything left that they can do for me
All you guys just settle down you'll feel a whole lot better
I won't shake your hands no I won't
I'll just see you later

It's alright
I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna feel alright
I'm gonna be alright
It's no shame
I've got myself to blame
And maybe you would learn
If you could watch me burn

It's alright
I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna feel alright
I'm gonna be alright
It's no shame
I've got myself to blame
And maybe you would learn
If you could watch me burn...
