"Fire & Brimstone" lyrics
"Fire & Brimstone"
(feat. Jamey Johnson & Alison Krauss)
Feelin' last night this mornin'
A trainwreck pain in my head
But when I reach for the hair of the dog in the drawer
Found a dusty old Bible instead
Thought I ain't been to service since my granddaddy passed
Finish my cigarette out there on the front steps
And then slipped in the back by myself
You bring on the fire and brimstone
Tell me I'm goin' to hell
Yeah, which one of you will throw the first stone
I guess I'll see you there
You bring on the fire
Yeah, then I heard the reverend
He said "Turn and shake your neighbor's hand"
One by one saw them all turn around just to stare back at me
Like the wretch that I am
You bring on the fire and brimstone
Tell me I'm goin' to hell
And which one of you will throw the first stone
I guess I'll see you there
You bring on the fire
You bring on the fire
Bring it on
Out of spite I went down to the altar
And almost all of them followed me there
It turns out there's only one book and one cover
They were all just glad I was there
And we prayed for grace and forgiveness
About faith, hope and love
And when I make my way to Heaven
Oh, I pray he'll say "well done"
You bring on the fire and brimstone
Tell me I'm goin' to hell
I know he died and rolled away the stone
I guess I'll see him there
You bring on the fire
Bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on
Yeah, bring it on
There's a chance that when I get to Heaven
Oh, He may not know me at all
If that's the case, man
Then I'll take my judgement
Oh, but it won't be from y'all, naw
You bring on the fire
You bring on the fire
Bring it on, bring it on, bring on the fire
