Birmingham - Zach Bryan

Well I killed a man in Birmingham

I hit him with a tire iron

He did not move and I do not give a damn

I been working here like a slave mule

Sucking the earth of dry crude

Looking for a way out of it all

Cops are coming

I can feel em' here

My back is crawling with standing hair

Wouldn’t mind to see a few pigs fall

So take me down to the river

My blood all on the floor

Cause I don’t know if I can carry this weight much longer anymore

Take me up the mountain

On a cloud bound for the sky

Don’t go prayin' for me because tonight I’m prepared to die

At night I often wonder

What my tombstone would say

Would they mention any of my good or just evil in my days

That night out there in Birmingham

That boy who tried to rob me

I did not want to but I had to

Show that boy the real me

So take me down to the river

My blood all on the floor

Cause I don’t know if I can carry this weight much longer anymore

Take me up the mountain

On a cloud bound for the sky

Don’t go prayin' for me because tonight I’m prepared to die

Ooohhh

The dust has now settled

From those boys who busted in

I am not a bad man

But there’s bullets in my skin

So take me down to the river

My blood all on the floor

Cause I don’t know if I can carry this weight much longer anymore

Take me up the mountain

On a cloud bound for the sky

Don’t go prayin' for me because tonight I’m prepared to die
