When Death Waited His Turn
TitanChord
He rode up slow, said, “Boy, you’re done.”
But I lit my smoke and faced the sun
Some fall fast, some just burn —
But this time, Death waited his turn
When Death waited his turn —
The sky held fire, the wheels still turned
Some run quick, some crash and burn —
But this time, Death waited his turn
He leaned in close with a shadowed grin,
But I rode through the dust, let him spin
I ain’t no ghost, I ain’t no dirt —
This time, Death waited his turn
When Death waited his turn —
The sky held fire, the wheels still turned
Some run quick, some crash and burn —
But this time, Death waited his turn
I told him, “You don’t own my road —
You can ride behind, but I ain’t slowed.”
Some chase light, some chase the urn —
But this time, Death waited his turn
When Death waited his turn —
The sky held fire, the wheels still turned
Some run quick, some crash and burn —
But this time, Death waited his turn
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
He rode up slow, said, “Boy, you’re done.” But I lit my smoke and faced the sun Some fall fast, some just burn — But this time, Death waited his turn
When Death waited his turn — The sky held fire, the wheels still turned Some run quick, some crash and burn — But this time, Death waited his turn
He leaned in close with a shadowed grin, But I rode through the dust, let him spin I ain’t no ghost, I ain’t no dirt — This time, Death waited his turn
When Death waited his turn — The sky held fire, the wheels still turned Some run quick, some crash and burn — But this time, Death waited his turn
I told him, “You don’t own my road — You can ride behind, but I ain’t slowed.” Some chase light, some chase the urn — But this time, Death waited his turn
When Death waited his turn — The sky held fire, the wheels still turned Some run quick, some crash and burn — But this time, Death waited his turn
