I started writing this at work when I had some downtime and finished it with Jutt Huffman at my place. Kiely and I had written 'Til the Reaper Comes a few months to a year beforehand and the chorus lyrics fit perfectly with the story of the song.

lyrics

Verse:
They arrested me on Tuesday, but I ain't done nothin' wrong
They arrested me on Tuesday, but I ain't done nothin' wrong
When I asked them what I'm in for
They just sing me a murder song
They sing
Chorus:
Tie you up on the train tracks
Leave you there 'til your blood runs cold
Tie you up on the train tracks
Leave you there 'til the reaper comes
Verse:
Now I recognize those lyrics, I wrote 'em after all
I recognize those lyrics, I wrote 'em after all
But I swear it's just a story
That tale couldn't get more tall
He asked me, "Did you know him?" with a picture in his hand
He asked me, "Did you know him?" with a picture in his hand
Now how could I deny it
When he used to be my man?
Somebody
Chorus 2:
Tied him up on the train tracks
Left him there 'til his blood run cold
Tied him up on the train tracks
Left him there 'til the reaper come
Verse:
Chicken scratch on crumpled paper, no return address
Chicken scratch on crumpled paper, no return address
It said, "Sorry I got you in trouble,
I did everything you said"
I
(Repeat Chorus 2)x2
