TRUE BLOOD ASSEMBLY OF RAVENSVILLE

I went down to the church they call
The True Blood Assembly of Ravensville
they passed me the collection plate
and I paid my bill

I had a plan to die young
but now that time's done dead and gone

well, from behind the altar the preacher's daughter
said, Daddy he pulled some strings
he's gonna let you the attic, crack your habit
them white trash blues you like to sing

he said, Son without the True Blood you
just all dressed up no place to go

I got a gun at my back
I got a knife in my boot
I got no fear of reprisals
just gonna stick it to you

I'm gonna leave this Godforsaken town
I swear I'll never let you down

I'm a-takin a walk
in the Ravensville cemetery last night
I saw a love letter taped to a tombstone
I signed my name and I walked on by

I had a plan to die young
but now that time's done dead and gone
dead and gone
dead and gone
dead and gone
