My daddy's on his deathbed,
The reaper's on his way.

My daddy's on his deathbed,
The reaper's on his way.
I hope He reconsiders,
And comes back some other day.
Last year I lost my brother,
The hurt still lingers on.
I'd never seen my momma cry
'Till she lost her eldest son.
Sometimes I feel like love's a crime
'Cause in the end it doesn't pay.
I don't want no-one to love me,
I don't wanna put my loved ones through the same.
Through the pain.
I'm workin' through the pain.
I guess I'm livin' just the same.
I've never been religious,
I don't believe in hell.
I don't need the fear of God
To make me treat you well.
When He decides you have to go.
It'll be my darkest day.
I don't want no-one to love me,
I don't wanna put my loved ones through the same.
Through the pain.
I'm workin' through the pain.
Gotta live on just the same.
Well my daddy's feelin' better,
He's got a few more years to live.
I'm gonna try to make the most of them,
I got a lot, now it's time to give.
When the reaper's back it'll be for good,
I'll be hurtin' once again.
I don't want no-one to love me,
I don't wanna put my loved ones through the same.
Through the pain.
I'm workin' through the pain.
I guess I'm livin' just the same.
Ya know, life's worth livin' just the same.

Oldie or not (well, "oldie" in relative terms, of course): I love this tune. Great lyrics, great vocals (just the right emotion in them) and the super playing again! What can I say, Larry ... another tune of yours on the show this weekend!
Cheers,
Mike

Larry - Sorry I took so long to check you out. This is an excellent song. In additional to just being an overall good listening song, I thought it was well balanced in every way and It's got everything a successful song needs. Nice work!

A well balanced mix between the music and the vocals. The guiater solo is brilliant. What type of microphone did you use for your vocal parts ?

I love this! The lower range part of the vocals, with the instrument mix reminded me of Lour Reed, for some reason. I could listen to this one over qnd over ... great vocal and guitar work -- nice tone and a perfect mix, IMO. I'm definitely signing up as a "fan".

Excellent tune and lyrics/vox are amazing.
Awesome tune. Post more!
