"The Reaper" lyrics

(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)

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
I 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

I headed west out to Montana and said I'm never comin home
Closed my eyes 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

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

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

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

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
