Drayton Farley - The Reaper [Audio]

Lyrics:
I grew up in an old coal mine town
Where the people get high and they never come back down
It’s a lot of old ghosts call this place home
There ain’t no time try to right no wrongs
It wasn’t long till I got my feel for the pills
A little here and there to help with the way I feel
But now I can’t slow it down and I don’t sleep
I’ve been feeling partial to the company I keep
Turns out they ain’t helping me at all
It’s three down the pipe and I feel my self start to fall
What the hell kind of hole have I dug for myself this time
I’ll reap what I sow but the reaper knows it ain’t ripe
Three days in and sleeps left me for dead
There’s too many thoughts running through this empty head
I thought I’d find the road tonight but there’s no light
Now I’m doubting my chances of making it out alive
Turns out they ain’t helping me at all
It’s three down the pipe and I feel my self start to fall
What the hell kind of hole have I dug for myself this time
I’ll reap what I sow but the reaper knows it ain’t ripe

Absolutely love this song!.. Hits home 'cos I grew up in a ghost town once famous for its coal mines & steel mills.. All the best from Yorkshire, UK.

I've been enamored with his whole catalog.

[@jsquirrels]

most under rated song of his. absolutely brilliant

[@HoSsKaT]

This song is brilliantly written . It's Appalachian to the bone . If you did this on your own just remember me when you're famous. Maybe free tickets ? Haha I'm spreading the word.

[@Hopscotch_24]

This may be my favorite. It’s very difficult to choose! Blown away.
