Lyrics

I woke up this morning
The devil had been telling me lies
The battery in my shoulder angel died
I’d been out late night on the liquor
Double clutch shiftin’ on the road to perdition and time
But i’ll get good with God in the fullness of time

See i’m a lonely man caught in a lonely time
And it’s enough to make a better man cry
Lord don’t the loneliness make a man dignified
But my tears they don’t fall down very far
Ya know i’m pickled in a brine of sin and love child
But i’ll get good with God in the fullness of time

Well i’ll get good when i’m damn good and ready
Got a foot in the grave another one in the gravy
And I sit back and listen to old rocksteady records

Sometimes i need to look the devil right in the eye
You know sometimes i need to feel alive
But i got me knife in case the devil comes looking for a fight
And I’m gettin’ where i’m going just as fast as i can
You know I’m walking through the valley of the shadow of death a wise man
But I’ll get good with God in the fullness of time

Yea I’ll get good with God in the fullness of time
Yea I’ll get good with God in the fullness of time
