Sara Storer The Ballad Of Tommy Foster lyrics

For thirty eight years, my life had begun
I was never a man without holding a gun
Now all that I hold is regret and I'm too old to run.
And for thirty eight years, I've not walked on grass
Living the life of my crimes from the past
But I'd give it all back just to lie in the arms of my love.

Throw away shotgun, throw away sorrow
Live out of existence, turn good for tomorrow
I am a bank robber, and a girl I desire
I've changed for tha better I am not a damm liar
My name's Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed is my life.

And for thiry eight years, I've seen growm men cry
and I've watched them come back time after time
and I hete them for having the chance, why can't it be mine.
And for thirty eight years, it's long since the stars
shined into my eyes, not to care of my past
And the lady I love, you've found the good in my heart.



Throw away shotgun, throw away sorrow
Live out of existence, turn good for tomorrow
I am a bank robber, and a girl I desire
I've changed for tha better I am not a damm liar
My name's Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed is my life.

It's three thirty again, the head miles begin
And the windows too high and I can't see the sun
And I can't stop this pain, so I think of you love
You've shown me the way, while others gave up
Oh you've shown me the way to what I can become.

Oh my names Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed is my life
Oh my names Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed i-s m-y life.
