KARMA RIDES A BLACK HORSE

Intro You can outrun the law. You can bury the truth. But karma rides a black horse— And she knows where you live.

Verse 1 You left him bleeding by the road Then wore your cleanest Sunday clothes Bought the sheriff, paid the judge Called it justice, called it done Built your kingdom over graves Made a fortune out of names Thought time would bury what you did But time remembers where you hid

Pre-Chorus No warning shot No preacher called First comes the silence— Then come the hooves

Chorus Karma rides a black horse And she knows where you live She don’t care what you called it She remembers what you did You can beg the Lord for mercy You can swear your hands are clean Karma rides a black horse— And tonight she rides for you

Verse 2 I spent years outrunning shadows Leaving smoke in every town Every town became an alibi Every lie became a crown Now there’s black rain on my window And slow hoofbeats at my door Funny how a man finds Jesus When he can’t run anymore

Pre-Chorus No warning shot No preacher called First comes the silence— Then come the hooves

Chorus Karma rides a black horse And she knows where I live She don’t care what I called it She remembers what I did I can beg the Lord for mercy I can swear my hands are clean Karma rides a black horse— And tonight she rides for me

Bridge I locked the doors I killed the light But guilt can see Just fine at night She didn’t come to hear me pray She came to carry me away Karma rides a black horse And she knows where I live She don’t care what I called it— She remembers what I did No road runs far enough No grave lies deep enough Karma rides a black horse— And tonight… She rides for me

Outro I’ve been expecting you.
