Reload
Overtime Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I pray while holdin' this gun, and it's time to reload,
And I'm hopin' this time it's done, I guess I never will know,
So forgive me cause I know that I do wrong,
And I swore I would change but I kept movin' on,
So I'm loadin' this bullet hopin to take me a shot,
Till it's time to reload

Billman calls and I don't pick up, cause I don't wanna hear that bullshit, bullshit, nah,
Tellin' me I should give it up, but I don't wanna hear that bullshit, bullshit, nah,
Live my life on a broken road and I ain't comin' home,
You ain't gotta leave the light on I prefer to roam,
I been a dreamer of time since beginning of time,
I can feel it in my soul I'll be gettin' mine,
So I lay it down and load it up and take a shot of whiskey 'fore I hold it up, I'm holdin' tough,
This life ain't nothin' but chances and takin' chances,
I'm dancin' and dancin' circles 'round the devils thermal canvas,
I ain't good in stormy weather and it's chokin' me up,
I got a pocket full of bullets and I'm loadin' 'em up,
And I just wanna take a shot but it's never enough,
So this time I got a shotty and I'm blowin' it up,

I pray while holdin' this gun, and it's time to reload,
And I'm hopin' this time it's done, I guess I never will know,
So forgive me cause I know that I do wrong,
And I swore I would change but I kept movin' on,
So I'm loadin' this bullet hopin to take me a shot,
Till it's time to reload

Another billman calls and I don't pick up,
When I talk what they want to hear,
Lost on the path when they commandeer,
Gotta sip till your wrong and I'm sincere,
Gave all that I have but does not seem like it's enough,
But I hid by the steps and I wont give up,
She'll cave in cause it's just too much,
I'm all in black and I feel no love,
Livin' at the bottom and I feel like I'm stuck,
We could all use help in this road so tough,
Wheel in the dirt, rain turned into mud,
Fuck, What, I ain't got shit to say,
Got too many song I ain't yet to play,
Got a .45 loaded sittin' in my lap,
And right now it can bang if you're in my way,
It's been a lonely road,
I got no where to go,
Another face to face battle with a bottle I'll lose,
I could chase you down with lies but never swallow the truth,
It's impeccable, you show up just to honor the role,
And pretend you're not fucked until you're droppin' the soap,
You say you're busy or you're tied up but I am not the rope,
And every shot I've taken missed so now it's time to reload,
That's why,

I pray while holdin' this gun, and it's time to reload,
And I'm hopin' this time it's done, I guess I never will know,
So forgive me cause I know that I do wrong,
And I swore I would change but I kept movin' on,
So I'm loadin' this bullet hopin to take me a shot,
Till it's time to reload
I pray while holdin' this gun, and it's time to reload,

And I swore I would change but I kept movin' on,
So I'm loadin' this bullet hopin to take me a shot,
Till it's time to reload
I pray while holdin' this gun,




And I'm hopin' this time it's done,
Till it's time to reload
