Reign Lyrics & Chords By Kevin Morby

When I was young, just under 21 I tore my town apart by emptying my loaded gun Into the atmosphere, catching bodies along the way And now the lord can't help me, and there ain't no god to save A wretch like me. My family is upset but I'm still their baby boy, Who's never gone now here alone, but now I ain't got no choice I'm going down, I'm going down, down, down. O, but I don't wanna go to hell, no I don't wanna go to hell... But if the devil is a bully, then I guess I might as well still be alive. And at the football games, everyone will know my name Won't matter if they're local, or they're in from outta state "O that innocent boy turned dangerous, who went to the mall that day - He grew up in the foothills, he went to that mall to slay" And like a bad dream, that feels so real That it can't be, but it is still And like a nightmare taken out of sleep, It hits you in the morning like a newspaper at your feet My name will reign Cryin on my mama's shoulders holdin my daddy's hand, Look into my sister's eyes, I know it's hard to understand That what I did, won't be forgiven, and what I did, is neverending. But look up at the school and tell me, what do you see? There's something wrong with all of them, there's nothing wrong with me. My name will reign.
