I have a date with Destiny, and all is not well,
I've been eating, sleeping and living in hell.

The skeletons in my closet wail like banshees in the night,
Just as my mind slowly starts to drift, they remind me of my plight.

I sit here rocking in my chair, and howlin' at the moon,
I'm waitin' to be taken, and prayin' that it's soon.

I lost my faith in Jesus Christ, he don't answer my calls,
Instead I worship Compound gin, and sin, facing the wall.

I've been walkin' in these shoes too long,
Life's no longer fun
I've lost everything I used to know,
except for my shotgun.

I've had the heady heights of joy,
And watched my life go south,
Now I sit still in a silent state,
tasting metal in my mouth.

I've seen a lot of women, I've loved myself a few,
I've felt the warm embrace of love, but I never had a clue.

I used to have my fathers love, his presence ever near,
But now his ghost is laid to rest, no one is left to hear.

My mother used to tuck me tight, and slowly stroke my head,
But now I just can't get no sleep, haven't since I found her dead.

My luck's been up at times, you see, and lots of money earned,
But easy come means easy go, another lesson learned.

I've been a man of many friends,
Now I'm the only one,
There's no one left, no friend or foe
except for my shotgun.

I've thought about things long and hard,
And of this life, I'm sick,
As the sweat beads drip from off my head
The last I hear is
