lyrics

This rattler it bit me
Not just me my wife she’s my only living family
This inferno started to claim me
Not just me my two best friends made the trip from Tallahassee
I know you dropped it my coffee
You stupid mother fucker the jokes on you I still would’ve drank that if I knew it was liquid nicotine
But still your razor wire it cuts me
Under my chin my heads in the woods when my little boy finally finds me

The river it takes me
I rode down with my sister Marylee
There’s a fall around the bend
Next weeks my wedding my honeymoon
Today is the end

It’s good to see you again
I think the last time was my baptism
You don’t remember that do you Quinn? Making that fools errand?
The river flows through your fingers today a lot like then
You’re trying to do God’s work for him
But he’s so busy I’ll tell you exactly where he’s been
Doing the devil’s work for him again
He’s killing us all and leaving zero for Satan

Undertow it takes me
Just for doing my civic duty
There’s a fall around the bend
I was looking forward to the ride home but right now is the end
Always the end over and over again
