He calls everyone home

Striking through to the bone

At the end of the road

you will sleep, hear him call

And the taste on your tongue,

My wife and children gone

Along with the defense

The bailiff leads me back to my cell

Like the riverman, ferrying me to Hell

To hate me for what I’ve done

I hear them whispering in the hall

“you’ll live and die by the gun”

All I can do is sit here and pray

Buried underneath the pine

of which I never earned a dime

Use it to start over,

the way things should have been

Live honest, and love again

Tell my wife, tell my kids, I never meant for this to happen
