Sunday
Coby Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a name for what you been doing

Sewing seeds in the land of ruin some say

Staying out past the point of pardon  

Sleeping late in the devil's garden Sundays
Your going to have to learn the hard way

Monday are crash and burn

And take your turn

Like anybody else


 

 

Don't believe with the life you're living

Have to take what the devil's giving for it

Or set a price on the things you value

Poison kills it won't matter how you pour it

Time is a gift you must adore it

Or drink to what your told

And bought and sold to everybody else


 Don't you talk to me like a dead man

I can do anything that you can better

I'm alive and I know the reason

Gonna have me the biggest season ever

And that's the trick that makes me clever

Sunday the clock struck now or never  





Just like it will for everybody else
