Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got one foot in the pine
One foot in the mud
Been lied to so clean
It felt like love
I pour one for the road
And light one by the fence
If the end’s got my name
It can wait a few minutes
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been twisted and taught
To call poison a cure
So I’m leaning on the dark
Till it opens that door
[Chorus]
Reaper, take your time
I need one last round
One last drag
One last lie laid down
Reaper, take your time
Let me speak my piece
About the hands that held me
Till they made a man out of grief
[Verse 2]
Mama said, “Boy, keep your head”
But the world kept mine bowed
Every promise I caught
Turned to dust in my mouth
He smiled with a blade
And a prayer on his tongue
Told me all I was owed
Was a hole and a rung
[Pre-Chorus]
I been counting my scars
Like coins in my palm
Every mark had a name
Every name was a cut gone wrong
[Chorus]
Reaper, take your time
I need one last round
One last drag
One last lie laid down
Reaper, take your time
Let me speak my piece
About the hands that held me
Till they made a man out of grief
[Bridge]
If you’re here for my soul
Then you’ll find it worn thin
But I ain’t done talking
About the shape I was in
So pass me that glass
Let the smoke roll slow
I’m not begging to stay
I’m just letting you know
[Final Chorus]
Reaper, take your time
I need one last round
One last drag
One last lie laid down
Reaper, take your time
Let me speak my piece
About the hands that held me
Till they made a man out of grief
Reaper, take your time
When you knock, I’ll rise
With a drink on my tongue
And the truth in my eyes
