Father's Son

My father, he done told me

To never, ever hurt no one

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

And I'm still my father's sonI 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 oneSo down low, better slow down, Lord

So down low, better slow down, Lord

So down low, better slow down, LordPlease Lord, now forgive me

Even though I don't deserve

I never was too good in life

The devil's all I serveMy woman, she done left me

I told her twice to go

The first time she ignored me

But then I threw her on the floorSo down low, better slow down, Lord

So down low, better slow down, Lord

So down low, better slow down, LordWell, I sleep with one eye open

I weep with both eyes closed

Darkness coming down on me

And tomorrow never knowsEver I suffer

Ever I suffer my fill

And if you don't pray for me now

Nobody ever willSo down low, better slow down, Lord

So down low, better slow down, Lord

So down low, better slow down, LordNow I'm in the graveyard

There's darkness all around

Voices floating through the air

Speaking with no soundYou were your father's son

But you left him far beyond

Beyond the reach of mercy

In the darkness of the sonI'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

I'm so down low, better slow down, LordI'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

I'm so down low, better slow down, Lord
