The Reaper

Slow up child, you're gonna get burned. Lay down the way you're gone in a hurry.

Rainwater in the wine. You're gonna live a long, long life.

I woke up one morning restless on a bed of gasoline.

Finally dawned on me the time that I spent shackled in these sheets.

Said life inside these walls ain't doing nothing good for me.

So I burned down that old brick house, and I threw away the key. Headed west out to

Montana, said I'm never coming home.

Closed my eyes and gripped the wheel and let my chest say where to go.

But I met God in Greenville County, upside down glass on the road. He said, "Boy, you never warmed up.

You got used to being cold. "

Slow up child, you're gonna get burned. Lay down the way you're gone in a hurry.

Rainwater in the wine. You're gonna live a long, long life.

Slow up boy, shut your mouth. Stop preaching about shit you don't know about. You got nothing but time.

You're gonna live a long, long life.

Met a girl out in the desert and she told me I was ill.

She said, "I will make you better," and she handed me a pill. She was pretty, so I thought if this won't help me, nothing will. Soon enough,

I woke up floating high above the desert hills.

Then all at once the desert sounded evil and turned black.

I watched what little life was left catch fire and turn to ash.

And I saw my mother standing there, an empty can of gas. She said, "What the fuck you doing, boy?

You get your ass right -back. " -Slow up child, you're gonna get burned.

-Lay down the way you're gone in a hurry. -Rainwater in the wine.

You're gonna live a long, long life. Slow up boy, shut your mouth.

Stop preaching about shit you don't know about. You got nothing but time.

You're gonna live a long, long life.

Slow up child, you're gonna get burned. Lay down the way you're gone in a hurry.

Rainwater in the wine. You're gonna live a long, long life.

Slow up boy, shut your mouth. Stop preaching about shit you don't know about. You got nothing but time.
