By the fire, a jar of whiskey, and a banjo on my knee Oh this is all any man should need But there's an emptiness, a longing in my heart And I've been spending all my time praying For a new day a new life What I'm given never will suffice
Wait and see? Why must I wait and see? Oh Father up above answer me
Oh my son, I've heard your prayers, and I've come to help you out Now you must listen to your messiah, to the one true Jesus Christ
It's gonna be a long ride and though you'll make it out alive It breaks my fucking heart to have to tell you That I cannot say the same for your beloved wife
In her womb dwells the son of the morning star
Oh, this means the end my boy, but there's still time to save us As she sleeps this very night you've got to end her life it's the only way
Oh no, this cannot be the truth I refuse to believe your words You ask too much of me But if you're who you say, then this is the way it must be I know my name
Yes, go forth my son And my kingdom come And my will be done here on Earth as it is in...
Hell, I'd do anything that the lord asks of me Forgive me for my doubts, your voice truly is the voice of God damn, salvation rests in my hands But I won't let you down, I will swear that on my wife's grave.
