Death Drums Along The River

Lyrics
Wouldn't I miss a life to save To my memories, I have been a slave Can't sleep for the radio Red Christmas lights from Mexico Oh, to drink that dirty water Oh, to sleep with burning sand Only just protect my children Death drums beat along the river Dear Lord, do you come to take me? Spare me over 'til New Year's morning One last night and I'll be ready But now I'm shaking so unsteady I would ride a camel I will hitch a ride Three men walk up to a manger And hear a baby start to cry What did I have? A razor blade To a life of crime, I was a slave That infernal constant static Turned from lame into fanatic Oh, to bathe in dirty water Oh, to find some shade to sleep Oh, to sleep that foreign country Death drums beat along the river Death drums beat along the river Lord, I feel you here to take me You are here to take me home Can you spare some ayahuasca I don't want to go alone I swear I'll come over I'll not miss my final ride I'll stash myself some transportation I'll not miss my day to die I'll will not miss my day to die What did I see? A life to save To my memories I had been a slave Can't sleep for the radio And Christmas lights from Mexico Oh, to wear a clean suit Oh, to say that I am sorry Oh, to step upon the gallows Death drums beat along the river Death drums beat along the river Death drums beat along the river Death drums beat along the river What did I hear? A life to save
