(Verse)
6
She told her grandma to pray for me
7
Tell Satan to stay away for me
8
But grandma's baked banana bread wasn't on my plate when I was crying with painkillers and cocaine in me
9
In an ambulance running red lights
10
Watching the devil dance under red skies
11
Yelling at paramedics with wet eyes
12
Don't let me die, don't let me leave with him
13
He's not a friend of my father's, a false prophet, a red cup
14
Suckin nice chips and the hospital bed tucked
15
Scrambled eggs, orange juice and fruit cups
16
Had a van, clipboards bruises and cuts
17
A room wasted on a junky with a heart of glass
18
While in the hole always wait cancer and heart attacks
19
Promising I won't make mistakes I'll regret again
20
Seven hours later in the same bed again
21
(Hook)
22
I stopped breathing, my skin went cold
23
My heart stopped beating, I've never been this close
24
And I never felt better, I never felt better
25
I never felt better, I'm finally home
26
(Verse)
27
My daddy lit a cigarette and sipped from his ale
28
Turned off the television set and whispered a tail
29
His mama was an angel, a bosom full of love
30
But grandma was the devil with the poison in her blood
31
Rubbing alcohol mouthwash, whiskey and wine
32
Face down on the sidewalk, tipsy and blind
33
Sleeping in her vomit, washed up on the shore
34
Threw a brick through the window of my grandfather's door
35
Ron Dunn, that's the man name, the neighbors would stare
36
Some neighbors would laugh, some neighbors shed a tear
37
Some neighbors said a prayer while my father carried bones
38
Slipped off his shoes while she slept in her clothes
39
She would show up at his school and embarrass him in class
40
With the bottle in her hand, all the kids would laugh
41
Pleased as a smile curls on my father's face
42
While he recalls the day when his mama passed away
43
(Hook)
44
I stopped breathing, my skin went cold
45
My heart stopped beating, I've never been this close
46
And I never felt better, I never felt better
47
I never felt better, I'm finally home
48
(Verse)
49
Illuminated by the light at the end of this
50
I remember the first time that I dreamt of this death sentence
51
Early morning on December 5th when we buried and carried him through those church entrances
52
I thought I'll be more sensitive,
53
Since it is my own flesh and blood
54
But I hear him begging me to catch up
55
Let it all go, what a shocking thought
56
No more talking bout the prophet
57
No more stocks and bonds
58
No more responsibilities, no more walk the dogs
59
Mo more family obligations, no more awkward talks with mom
60
So I lay in bed for a couple days
61
Blaze of heads but I ain't space cadet faded yet
62
I'm tryna get Jerry G grateful dead
63
So I could play roulette with a bigger net
64
I made my own grades, I dug it with a butter knife
65
The earth surface ain't worth dirt if it doesn't put up a fight
66
Tell my wife I love her and then I hug her tight
67
Then one last lie, baby I'll see you on the other side
68
(Outro)
69
I'm walking through the night, I'm walking on a tight rope
70
I'm walking with my eyes closed, no net bellow
71
Look out bellow, then I let go
72
Let's go
73
