Karaoké Break It to Them Gently Burton Cummings

Break it to them gently when you tell my mom and dad

When you see my baby sister be as kind as you can

And 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 comin' home again

'Cos I'm running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive

Fighting for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone

Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive

God I wanna go home

Lord I wish I was home

When you see my lady with the twinkle in her eyes

Tell it to her softly and hold her if she cries

Tell her that I love her and I will 'till the day I die

Tell it to her gently when you tell her that

I won't be coming home again

I got in too deep with strangers

Thinking they could help me find my way

But nobody warned me of the dangers

And it's always the young and foolish that have to pay

So break it to them gently when you tell my mom and dad

Thank them for the good years and all the loving that I had

And break it to my grandma who said the boy is wild and bad

Break it to them gently when you tell them that

I won't be coming home again

I'm running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive

Fighting for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone

Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive

Lord I wanna go home

Lord I wanna go home

You gotta break it to them gently break it to them gently

Gotta break it to them gently gotta really try to roll them

Gotta break it to them gently gotta really try to soothe them

Gotta really try to soothe them gotta really try to roll them

You gotta roll it to my mother gotta roll it to my grandma

Gotta roll the old lady roll it to my mother

Roll it to my mother and roll the old lady

Roll it to my grandma she's damn near eighty

Roll the old lady roll it to my mother

Roll it to my mother gotta roll the old lady roll it to my mother

Sister and my mother and roll the old lady

Roll it to my grandma she's damn near eighty

Roll the old lady roll it to my mother
