My hand crafted lyrics set to AI music/vocals. Storytelling lyrics that could he recorded by male or female. Touchy subject matter but it tells a story and also shows accountability.
Thanks Greg…this is one of those songs that has gotten stellar feedback from Nashville evals in the way of being a great storytelling lyric…but alas the time for these types of songs seems to have passed. It will be a shelf sitter and line archive. Thanks.

Wow
True that most incarcerated women are in for this according to the sociology professor specifically studying this.
I wonder if Miranda would do this song.

For years she wore his bruises, drowning in regrets
Sat at her table that morning, inhaling coffee’n cigarettes
No, He wouldn't have her leaving,
her back was against the wall
She took her stand, grabbed his gun—
and let that hammer fall
No Redemption, no forgiveness,
no will to make it right
No gettin back the hard earned years
She served being his wife
Now she'll spend the rest of her days
With three meals and a cot
She found her freedom in prison
To her, it was worth the shot
Surrounded by steel’n concrete as time fell off the clock
Sift’n through old memories when she heard her cell unlock
Hearing the Wardens footsteps echo down the hall,
Knowing it’d be the last time her back was against a wall
No Redemption, no forgiveness,
no will to make it right
No gettin back the hard earned years
She served being his wife
Now she'll spend the rest of her days
With three meals and a cot
She found her freedom in prison
To her, it was worth the shot
Accepting her fate and choices,
She had a life to pay for
The longest walk she'll ever take—
is down that corridor
No Redemption, no forgiveness,
no will to make it right
No gettin back the hard earned years
She served being his wife
Now she'll spend the rest of her days
With three meals and a cot
She found her freedom in prison
To her, it was worth the shot
The injection will be quick,
There won't be any pain
When the Warden asked
for any last words…
…”an eye for an eye” is all she’d say
Ohhhhh
She found her freedom in prison
To her, it was worth the shot

Good again! Maybe the best line you wrote here is “TOUCHY SUBJECT MATTER!!” (though I did really like, “she let that hammer fall”) Too bad Johnny Cash has passed. This would have been HUGE at his Prison concerts. (Probably more so at FEMALE prisons but…)
Might be tough for a male singer to pull this off.
