[Chorus] Take him all along (Take him all along)
Take him with you now (Take him with you now)
Rip the band-aid off (Rip the band-aid off)
Reaper calm him down (Reaper calm him down)

[Verse] (My brother)
His face has grown old
And his eyes have grown cold
By the shame he's been dragging
Along with his fault
And the age of the man
Ain't the same as it's been
When you're all alone
And don't know where you have been

[Bridge] Round the time the rest
Of all the country boys
Left to sleep
Ain't no family blood up in our veins
So shut up
(Still I feel the need)
(To be my brother's keeper)
(No matter what)

[Chorus] Take him all along (Take him all along)
Take him with you now (Take him with you now)
Rip the band-aid off (Rip the band-aid off)
Reaper calm him down (Reaper calm him down)

[Outro] It's in your glassy eyes
Behind your glasses
Don't wait for grim reaper's goal
And reap a smile instead
I am watching
In amusement
At the trip you
Take out of your bed
Your bed
