Slim's Lament

(альбом: 10 For Slim: Charley Crockett Sings James Hand - 2021)

I took my first drink
The second I awoke
And as my head began to sink, I felt that my heart just broke
I fall to my knees
What else can I do?
I'm praying to God but I'm calling for you

I swear that I've tried everything but suicide
And every day is still the same
With each new tear the same old pain is here
Oh death, you'll have so little left to claim
I stare in the mirror at a man I hardly knew
I'm praying to God but I'm calling for you

I swear that I've tried everything but suicide
And every day is still the same
With each new tear the same old pain is here
Oh death, you'll have so little left to claim
I stare in the mirror at a man I hardly knew
I'm praying to God but I'm calling for you

I'm praying to God but I keep calling for you
