The Reaper

Lyrics

[Chorus] Slow up child You're gonna get burned Lay down, where you goin' in a hurry? There ain't water in the wine You're gonna live a long long life [Verse 1] I woke up one mornin' restless on a bed of gasoline Finally dawned on me the time that I've spent shackled in these sheets Said life inside these walls ain't doin' nothin good for me So I burned down that old brick house and I threw away the key Headed west out to Montana and said I'm nevеr comin' home Closed my eyеs and grip 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 bein' cold" [Chorus] Slow up child You're gonna get burned Lay down, where you goin' in a hurry? There ain't water in the wine You're gonna live a long long life Slow up boy Shut your mouth Stop preaching 'bout shit you don't know about You got nothin' but time You're gonna live a long long life [Verse 2] 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 nothin' 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 with an empty can of gas She said "What the fuck you doin' boy you get your ass right back" [Chorus] Slow up child You're gonna get burned Lay down, where you goin' in a hurry? There ain't water in the wine You're gonna live a long long life Slow up boy And shut your mouth Stop preaching 'bout shit you don't know about You got nothin' but time You're gonna live a long long life [Chorus] Slow up child You're gonna get burned Lay down, where you goin' in a hurry? There ain't water in the wine You're gonna live a long long life Slow up boy And shut your mouth Stop preaching 'bout shit you don't know about You got nothin' but time You're gonna live a long long life
