Burton Cummings - Break It To Them Gently Lyrics
Break it to them gently when you tell my Mom and DadWhen you see my baby sister be as kind as you canAnd break it to my Grandma, who said "That boy's wild and bad"Break it to them gently when you tell them that I won't be coming home againCause I'm running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitiveFightin for my life and I don't know if I'll make it aloneRunning with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitiveGod I wanna go homeLord I wish I was homeWhen you see my lady with the twinkle in her eyesTell it to her softly and hold her if she criesTell her that I love her and I will til the day I dieTell it to her gently when you tell her that I won't be coming home againI got in too deep with strangersThinking they could help me find my wayBut nobody warned me of the dangersAnd it's always the young and foolish that have to paySo break it to them gently when you tell my Mom and DadThank them for the good years and all the lovin that I hadAnd break it to my Grandma, who said "the boy is wild and bad"Break it to them gently when you tell 'em that I won't be comin home againI got in too deep with strangersThinking they could help me find my wayBut nobody warned me of the dangersAnd it's always the young and foolish that have to pay)You gotta break it to them gentlyGotta really try to roll 'emGotta break it to them gentlyGotta really try to soothe themGotta really try to roll 'emYou gotta roll it to my MotherGotta roll it to my GrandmaGotta roll the old ladyRoll it to my Grandma, she's damn near eightyRoll the old lady
