about

"There’s a strong Old Testament feel to many of the songs as they deal with the fall and redemption, not least in After The Fall which, opening on churchy piano notes, picks up a tribal rhythm tempo and, again adopting male voice, draws on childhood memories of a Pentecostal preacher (“Mama took me every Sunday to the church and made me pray/Daddy said I was a sinner and that God would make me pay/But I, I will outrun em all/I was born a man after the fall”) and, once more, looks beyond what seems obvious (“They’ll hang me if they catch me, they don’t know the work I do/To keep them safe at night from all those devils on the loose”)." - Folk Radio UK

lyrics

Mama took me every Sunday to the church and made me pray
Daddy said I was a sinner and that God would make me pay
But I, I will outrun em all
I was born a man after the fall

I’m a rambler and a gambler only play when stakes are high
And I know every back road, boys always let me drive
They know that I, I will outrun em all
I was born a man after the fall

I could have been the man mama wanted me to be
But I listened to the preacher
Lord had mercy, set me free
He said you’re running with the devil son
I see it in your eyes
There’s only room for one of us
Best you leave tonight
He knows that I, I will outrun em all
I was born a man after the fall

They’ll hang me if they catch me, they don’t know the work I do
To keep them safe at night from all those devils on the loose
Oh I, I will outrun em all
I was born a man after the fall
