The Reckoning

He met her on the road 
 with her heavy, heavy load
 she said oh my lord, you're beautiful


 Its hard to do the pushin'
 when you're a needle and she's a cushion
 you know there ain't gonna be too much mushin' that way


 He said she's just one more sheep
 in a whole big, white heap
 all they are is cotton for him to sleep on


 Why do we have to die?
 Give me just more time,
 I'm gonna make it all right


 All he had left in him was his pain
 She was a sweet field of sugar cane
 He was a walking hurricane , you do the math


 He scratched his nails in the dirt
 Still he couldn't undo all the hurt
 It clang like sweat until his shirt, you know how it does


 It's hard to teach a new dog old tricks
 It's hard to break what you cannot fix
 It's hard to let go cause it really sticks to you


 Why do we have to die?
 Give me just more time,
 I'm gonna make it all right


 All I need is time to get home to you
