- Some Men Deserve the Night

Intro

Verse 1 I don't hate the dark, I made my peace with it Spent too many years afraid to be the storm Handed out forgiveness like it cost me nothin' — Learned that mercy just keeps crueler men warm So I quit apologizin' for the shape I take Quit prayin' God would sand my edges down Some men are the mornin', some men break — And some men were just built to hold the ground when the sun goes down

Chorus Some men deserve the night Some men earn the dark they get I gave 'em every chance at the light They chose — and now the sun has set

Verse 2 Don't weep for the wicked when the reckoning comes Don't light no candle for the men who chose Every hell a man walks into, he becomes The architect of — brick by brick he rose

Chorus Some men deserve the night Some men earn the dark they get I gave 'em every chance at the light They chose — and now the sun has set

Bridge I ain't the devil, I'm just what he sends When the good Lord's done and the mercy's spent I'm the last address of a road that ends I'm the bill that comes for a life misspent Some men deserve the night Some men earn the dark they get I gave 'em every chance at the light They chose — and now the sun has set

Outro The sun has set. Sleep tight.
