Lyrics The Reckoning Day - Black Star Riders

The Reckoning Day

One day the wind stopped blowing
The dust stayed on the hood
One day the hit kept growing
So we walked away for good
One day the kid I used to know
Came marching into town
Strung out his demons showing
His confidence shot down
If you value your freedom
Watch what you’re dealing
How high a price will you pay?
Brothers and sisters
Vagabonds and drifters
Don’t give it all away
Got no aces left to play
Here comes the reckoning day
One day I gave up hoping
You would see a little light
One day I gave up praying
That time would put you right
I ain’t cuz I don’t love you man
I ain’t cuz I don’t care
I’m looking for tomorrow
But I just don’t see you there
If you value your freedom
Watch what you’re dealing
How high a price will you pay?
Brothers and sisters
Vagabonds and drifters
Don’t give it all away
Got no aces left to play
Here comes the reckoning day
One day you’re gonna wake up
Face up to what you did
One day you’re gonna realize
That you’re not a little kid
One day the world stopped turning
No one would pay the bail
One day they all just leave you
Chasing dragons in the jail
Now I guess it rains when you need it
I guess it pours when you don’t
And these letters that I sent
Just forget I ever wrote
If you value your freedom
Watch what you’re dealing
How high a price will you pay?
Brothers and sisters
Vagabonds and drifters
Don’t give it all away
Got no aces left to play
Here comes the reckoning day
