A Reckoning Will Come

Sit a spell and heed my warning of oblivion

Keep your ways of living and a reckoning will come

Now I have courted danger and fallen under its spell

But once the fever passes all else has gone to hell

Keep on playing possum sugar ooo bless your soul

You lost all inhibition to that siren rock and roll

Can’t swim against it

If you try that river keeps floating by

Can’t swim against it

If you try that river keeps floating by

That river keeps floating by oh lord

That river keeps floating by

Keep on how you been running around

That tide’s gonna bring you down

Struck a deal in Memphis one dark and humid night

Didn’t need no salvation I thought I’d be alright

Now I have garnered favor and I’ve joined the elite few

But all that shit ain’t worth spit when the devil gets his due

Keep on playing possum sugar ooo bless your soul

You lost all inhibition to that siren rock and roll

Can’t swim against it

If you try that river keeps floating by

Can’t swim against it

If you try that river keeps floating by

That river keeps floating by oh lord

That river keeps floating by

God’s gonna trouble the water children

God’s gonna trouble the water

Yes he is

He’s gonna trouble the water

Oh that river keeps floating by

And that reckoning sure will come
