"What's Done Is Done"

I couldn't stay around and finish high school
I had to hit the streets as soon as I could
Now I'm runnin', always runnin'
As I turned out the way they said I would

Daddy told me all about chasing women
Watched my momma lose her mind and all her hopes
Now the only thing that's left of my pathetic life
Is dangling at the end of a rope

What's done is done, had me way too much fun
Now I'm runnin' from a man with a gun
Looking back over my shoulder but I won't get much older
What's done is done, Lord, what's done is done

Started hanging with the wrong kind of people
Fooling with the wrong kind of folks
Made my living doing things, got me locked up in chains
As I went the way they said I'd go

Oh, what's done is done, had me way too much fun
Now I'm runnin' from a man with a gun
Looking back over my shoulder but I won't get much older
What's done is done, had me way to much fun

Oh, I'm runnin' from a man with a gun
Looking back over my shoulder but I won't get much older
What's done is done, oh, what's done is done
Hey, yeah, done is done, ooh, what's done is done, hey yeah
