Sweet Hereafter - The White Buffalo

Oh, when I left my mamas home

Left her for dead when I left her all alone

The whores they won’t let me be at night

They can’t replace the warmth I need tonight

Because I’m cold, cold as hell

The lord, He don’t wait for me at night

He knows what I’ve done is wrong and it ain’t right

The devil await me with open arms

And he sways me with his wiles and with his charms

I’m holding on when there’s nothing left to hold onto

Hold on to the sweet hereafter

The fountain from where I drank from as a child

When I was young I was bored and I was wild

Since then I have grown into a man

And I know that I can always stand

But I’m wrong, I’m still a child

Hold on to the sweet hereafter

Hold on to the sweet hereafter
