lyrics

Right place at the right time, always a good way to go.
Wrong place at the wrong time, now you’re on death row.
I swear, I didn’t do it, I told the judge the truth.
I’ll say the same thing to the man, after I’ve been swinging from the noose.

But a rope is just a rope, until you’re hanging from it,
I thought I was going to heaven, but I hear no trumpet.
So go and get the warden, tell him I’m not dead.
If seeing is believing, take this hood from my head.

They said, “get on that plane, we’ve got one last job to do.
Take out the man in red, and that’s the last we’ll ask of you.”
What a funny sense of humor, lady luck had on that day,
Our plane was shot down before we landed the runway.

Chorus

What to do now, I’m hanging here on the last hour of the last day of the year.
What to do now, the reaper has arrived, to cut me down and bid this world goodbye.
But I’m not ready to throw in the towel, reaper turn around and head back down.
I’ll get myself down from this pole, with my own two legs, gonna walk on home.

Chorus

This is punctuated by Andrew Harris’ sharp guitar attack, the staccato rhythm guitar work of Jay Seals. Most importantly though, they are a band of songwriters who love to create, play, and record original music. ... more
