Bill of Sale

I used to be brash, I used to be bold

Lived off rhythm and road

Burnt every bridge, swindled and stole

Sold all stake in my soul

I went down to the creek to roll away stones

But the water kept begging my bones

I started to sink, too late to atone

Drowning in the sins that I've sewn

Friends, I used to have plenty

But the devil within me convinced me to roam

Where the hill country ends and skies turn empty

No God can defend me from the evil I've known

I try to pretend redemptions in reach

I'd like to believe forgiveness suits me well

Maybe in grave, I'll finally find peace

An acre in heaven or a kingdom in hell

I went down to the creek where the sky turns empty

The devil convinced me I'd finally find peace

I started to sink, God, please forgive me

I wanna believe that redemptions in reach
