Rest in Peace

Jay Michael Adams, thirty-five

Kentucky born and he's survived

By his wife and his three boys

Good Lord

Plain wooden casket

Peace Lilies and a wicker basket

Dry eyes, it's no surprise

He was living on borrowed time

Who did it?

Who done did it?

Somebody took one for the team

Who did it?

Who done did it?

Never gonna find out it was me

She called me up at quarter past three

Big sister, he hit me

Enough is enough, said, give me fifteen

'Cause bloods thicker than whiskey

I waited long enough 'til he was blackout drunk

Cinder block on the pedal, threw him in his truck

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

Who did it?

Who done did it?

Never gonna find out it was me

Who did it?

Who done did it?

Take it to the grave, baby, rest in peace

His mama's still crying

And the preachers keeps on lying

No, he was not a man of God

'Cause he been caught too many times

He was a thief and a cheater

A natural born deceiver

But the moment that he beat her

His ass was mine

She called me up at quarter past three

Big sister, he hit me

Enough is enough said, give me fifteen

'Cause bloods thicker than whiskey

I waited long enough 'til he was blackout drunk

Cinder block on the pedal, threw him in his truck

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

Who did it?

Who done did it?

Never gonna find out it was me

Who did it?

Who done did it?

Take it to the grave, baby, rest in peace

I don't claim to be a saint

But no, it didn't feel like a sin

It felt like he got what was coming to him

She called me up at quarter past three

Big sister, he hit me

Enough is enough said, give me fifteen

'Cause bloods thicker than whiskey

I waited long enough 'til he was blackout drunk

Cinder block on the pedal, threw him in his truck

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

Who did it?

Who done did it?

Never gonna find out it was me

Who did it?

Who done did it?

Take it to the grave, baby, rest in peace
