Way down
South 87 in a one lane town
Bad Eddie’s getting into shit with another commuter
And their working up a plan that’ll settle it sooner
well who’d have thought a roadside feud could turn from nothing to that
(So don’t tell if your mother should ask)
Cause death comes for good sons so get with the bad
Full stop
Out the car and Eddie cold cocks him
a little harder And it warrants an investigation
So they haul him upstate with a life conviction
And tell him that’s the price that you’re paying but he smiles and laughs
(And you can say what you want about that)
Cause death comes for good sons so get with the bad
Born under a false sign,
Drunk at the wrong times
Walking like the living proof
Why you say death’ll come for good sons and not for you —-
Death comes for good sons and not for you
Hey child
Debts are gonna make you wait a while
Sex is gonna make you look at him like you’re meant to
When he tells you all the things that he wants to tell you
And helps you get a handle on forgiving the sins of your past
(Now you act how you’ve wanted to act)
Cause death comes for good sons so get with the bad
5 years,
Who’d have thought it’d take you 5 years
And all it brought you was a life in perpetual motion
An ex wife and a taste for suppressing emotion
And spending all your money trying to get what you can’t get back
(But there’s hope in faith you lack)
Cause death comes for good sons so get with the bad
Born under a false sign,
Drunk at the wrong times
Walking like living proof
Why you say death’ll come for good sons and not for you —-
Death comes for good sons and not for you

A lovely addition to the best project of 2023, that at some points feel like B-Sides, but is overall just as strong as the work that made it on "the record" Outer Estate
