Potter's Ground

from Americayana by Aaron Rester

lyrics

The preacher man left me bleeding
in the alley behind this bar.
Maybe I had it coming,
but he didn’t have to take it this far.

The preacher man left me bleeding,
and yes, I was shaking down his friend.
But my life leaking through my fingers
ain’t how this all had to end.

A bullet in the back from a holy man’s gun
ain’t how I thought the man on the cross would have done.
Lay me down in the potter’s ground.

I swear all I wanted was his money,
I wasn’t gonna hurt no one.
We all could have walked away now all I can do is pray
that the end of these days gonna come.

A man has got to make a living,
whether it’s right or wrong.
To put food on the table for his children,
he’ll even sing the devil’s song.

Lay me down in the potter’s ground.
