LYRICS : Father's Son

My father he done told me

To never ever hurt no one

But now I'm sick and mad and I've been caught red handed

Hell I'm still my father's son

I lay awake till daylight

A pillow and a gun

And if my secret dreams could be seen on screen

Then they'll be coming for this one

I'm so down Lord, better slow down Lord

I'm so down Lord, better slow down Lord

I'm so down Lord, better slow down Lord

Please Lord now forgive me

Even though I don't deserve

I never was too good and now

The Devil's all I serve

My woman she done left me

I told her twice to go

The first time she ignored me

But then I threw her on the floor

I'm so down Lord, better slow down Lord

I'm so down Lord, better slow down Lord

I'm so down Lord, better slow down Lord

Well I sleep with one eye open

And I weep with both eyes closed

Time is comin' down on me

And tomorrow never knows

Haven't I suffered?

Haven't I suffered my fill?

And if you don't pray for me now

Nobody ever will

I'm so down Lord, better slow down Lord

I'm so down Lord, better slow down Lord

I'm so down Lord, better slow down Lord

Now I'm in the graveyard

There'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

I'm so down Lord, better slow down Lord

I'm so down Lord, better slow down Lord

I'm so down Lord, better slow down Lord
