about

A song in the works for many years but I finally sharpened the axe and hewed it into something. Influenced by fate, death, and Blind Willie McTell. What else is there, really?

I've been wanting to play slide guitar with the Howlers for years so I finally found a home for it. Let us know what you think.

lyrics

You got to lay down
Lay down
Lay down and die sometime
You got to lay down
Lay down
Lay right down and die

I told my mother, don't you worry
don't you worry 'bout that son of yours
I told my mama not to worry
I'll be sitting on those golden shores

I told my preacher I would write him
to explain my situation
I called out to John
wrote on the back of his Revelation

You got to lay down
Lay down
Lay down and die sometime
You got to lay down
Lay down
Lay right down and die

Sit alone and wonder about my breathing
will the soil rattle 'round my lung
I see the storm cloud, feel the shiver
The end has just begun

You got to lay down
Lay down
Lay down and die sometime
You got to lay down
Lay down
Lay right down and die

You got to lay down
Lay down
Lay down and die sometime
You got to lay down
Lay down
Lay right down and die

You got to lay down
Way down
Lay down and die sometime
You got to lay down
Way down
Lay right down and die

You got to lay down
Way down
Lay down and die sometime
You got to lay down
Way down
Lay right down and die
