My father he done told me To never ever hurt no one But now I'm sick an' mad and I been caught red handed And I'm still father's son I lay awake til daylight A pillow and a gun And if my secret dreams could be seen on screen Then they'll be coming for this one So down low better slow down lord So down low better slow down lord So down low better slow down lord Please lord now forgive me Even though I don't deserve I never was too good in life The devil's all I serve My woman she done left me I told twice to go The first time she ignored me But then I threw her on the floor So down low better slow down lord So down low better slow down lord So down low better slow down lord Well I sleep with one eye open I weep with both eyes closed Darkness coming down on me and Tomorrow never knows Ever I suffer Ever suffer my fill And if you don't pray for me now Nobody ever will So down low better slow down lord So down low better slow down lord So down low better slow down lord Now I'm in the graveyard It's darkness all around Voices floating through the air speaking with no sound You were your father's son But you left him far beyond Beyond the reach of mercy In the darkness of the sun So down low better slow down lord So down low better slow down lord So down low better slow down lord So down low better slow down lord So down low better slow down lord I'm so down low better slow down lord I'm so down low better slow down lord I'm so down low better slow down lord
