the reckoning day

one day the wind stopped blowing

the dust stayed on the hood

one day the hit kept growing

so we walked away for good

one day the kid i used to know

came marching into town

strung out his demons showing

his confidence shot down

if you value your freedom

watch what you're dealing

how high a price will you pay?

brothers and sisters

vagabonds and drifters

don't give it all away

got no aces left to play

here comes the reckoning day

one day i gave up hoping

you would see a little light

one day i gave up praying

that time would put you right

i ain't cuz i don't love you man

i ain't cuz i don't care

i'm looking for tomorrow

but i just don't see you there

if you value your freedom

watch what you're dealing

how high a price will you pay?

brothers and sisters

vagabonds and drifters

don't give it all away

got no aces left to play

here comes the reckoning day

one day you're gonna wake up

face up to what you did

one day you're gonna realize

that you're not a little kid

one day the world stopped turning

no one would pay the bail

one day they all just leave you

chasing dragons in the jail

now i guess it rains when you need it

i guess it pours when you don't

and these letters that i sent

just forget i ever wrote

if you value your freedom

watch what you're dealing

how high a price will you pay?

brothers and sisters

vagabonds and drifters

don't give it all away

got no aces left to play

here comes the reckoning day
