Father's Son

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
