lyrics

the repo man's done taken nearly everything I own
now there's only one left to go
it's not me
take your time in leaving

if you're wondering, just what I meant
I'm working to pay the rent
but these bones and this flesh have already been spent
with my wage

tonight, there's bills to pay
if love could be money there'd still be no way
so just steal my broken wings
and try to get away

on the banks of the brazos the waters run dark
I can feel them rush toward my heart
it's too late
there's nothing left to save me

this river keeps rolling fast
to deliver me from my past
and the weight of my name shall be claimed by the sea
in the end

CHORUS

I'm working to pay the rent
to deliver myself from my past
but the weight of my name has already been spent
with my wage

if you're wondering just what I meant
this river keeps rolling fast
and these bones and this flesh shall be claimed by the sea
in the end

CHORUS
