about

One of my favorite tracks on the album, Judgement Day is blues driven and gritty. Joe MacPhail's piano takes us all to church on this one!

lyrics

My mother was a fighter
Born without a name of her own
Bought and paid for by her daddy
So he claimed

She took off with the first man
Headed out of town
Didn’t worry about the good life
Didn’t matter where he was bound
‘Cause she’s always bound

I came out of their union
They gave me my daddy’s name
He said with god as his witness
In these shackles she’ll remain

So mama took in on the lonesome road
We broke free of our chains
We fought hunger, church, and demons
Held our heads high and proclaimed

God damn I am tired of living this way
For the chance to meet the good Lord
Another man on Judgment Day

Tired broke and weary
We came up on a man
He said if you’ll take my name
I will give you all I can

So I grew up with a family
Hidden right there in plain sight
Til I found a road marked freedom
And struck out on my own one night

I traveled out beyond the land of cotton and good names
But the road of all my questions
Led me right back from where I came

That’s where I met a man who promised
He walk right by my side
Asked me the life I wanted
And if I would be his bride

I said sir you seem a kind one
But your questions still remain
Who I am and where I come from
Hell, I don’t even know my name

God damn I am tired of living this way
For the chance to meet the good Lord
Another man on Judgment Day

God damn I am tired of living for the day
That I’ll meet my lord and savior
Another man on Judgement Day
