Lyrics

Yeah, look at you standing right here at the door
Knowing exactly what I'm looking for
Thinking the dirt covered up what you took
I carry the fire and I hold the book
Silence is heavy, it kicks like a drum
Knowing the reckoning finally comes
I ain't the sheriff, I ain't the law
I'm the last shadow you ever saw
He owed my daddy
Yeah, he owed my daddy
I'm just here for the collection
'Cause he owed my daddy
Keep your hands empty and not where they show
There ain't a highway where you're gonna go
You bought a house with the devil's own dime
I'm just the toll at the end of the line
Look at your hands, they're starting to shake
This is the bed that you wanted to make
I ain't gonna argue, ain't cutting a deal
I'm just the rust on the edge of the steel
The ledger is open, the ink is bone dry
Looked at me straight in the white of the eye
You thought it was buried, you thought it was gone
But darkness is coming before it is dawn
He owed my daddy
Yeah, he owed my daddy
I'm just here for the collection
'Cause he owed my daddy
Yeah, he owed my daddy
The bill is due and the mercy is gone
'Cause he owed my daddy
You're bleeding on the mat, I ain't buying into that
I see your busted jaw, we don't call the law
I put it in park, grab metal in the dark
Wipe copper off your chin, I'll get your frame and then
Just give me a name
Tell me who did you wrong
Just give me a name
He won't be here long
Headlights cut through the pine
We cross the yellow lines
I lock the Megan place
I need a dead man's face
You choke on your breath
I do the work of death
Bound by water and mud
I pay the debt in blood
Don't hold it all in
Let the reckoning begin
Got a clip and gasoline
I wipe the slate clean
Just give me a name
Tell me who did you wrong
Just give me a name
He won't be here long
Just give me a name
Point me right at his door
Just give me a name
He won't hurt you no more
You hold the beam steady, the dirt's getting cold
We do what we got, the bloodline is old
Ain't no joy in the hammer, no smile in the smoke
Just balancing ledgers for the promise he broke
You stare at your palms and they're shaking with dread
But loyalty's heavy and it's paid out in lead
So hand me the shovel and don't make a sound
We're putting the problem deep into the ground
He sat at my table
He drank from my glass
He looked in my eye and told me a lie
So I put him in the grass
You toss in his wallet, you toss in the keys
The damp air is settling down in the trees
A chore is a chore, we ain't asking for grace
Just shovel the mud on the side of his face
My daddy was cold and his daddy was too
It's a dirty religion I'm passing to you
So scrape off your boots on the rim of the tire
We're driving back home to sit by the fire
The law of the blood is a law that we keep
You don't get to rest and you don't get to sleep
You wipe off the iron, I wash off the blade
The debt has been settled, the devil is paid
He sat at my table
He drank from my glass
He looked in my eye and told me a lie
So I put him in the grass
He sat at my table
He thought he would last
He took what was mine and stepped over the line
So I put him in the grass
