My father he don 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
