son of the earth

jesus i'm thankful for the life i've been given
and i apologize for the way i've been living it
jesus i'm wasted i have seen the other side
this demon carries heavy could i get a ride home

and the darkness is descending on the light
and i'm sorry for the love that i denied

and i think i know you better than most and love you with twice the disregard
but i feel better after all this time
i'm a son of the earth
i'm a son of the maker of the earth

there was a time when i would
make love to anyone i could find
i'd'a' screwed the town whore, had a feeling i was it
hangin from a high wire without a net.

and the darkness is descending on the light
and i'm sorry for the love that i deny

and i think i know you better than most and love you with twice the disregard
but i feel better after all this time
a son of the earth i'm a son

darkness is descending on the lake

jesus i'm thankful for life i've been given
and i apologize for the way i've been living it
jesus get get ready if it's early i'll be late
beer's become a poison and i don't wanna stay here

and i love you with all my diligence
and i love you with all my common sense
and i'll never take a stand against you
