Lyrics:

I went out drinking with a reaper
And man it did get live
You can count it by the liter
It's kinda hard to quantify
Come morning he was shaking
And he began to sigh
I said, 'man you got to keep it together
Or you gonna be outta time'

Oh, pale rider
You need a hell of talking to
Why don't you leave me be?
I got things to do
Oh, pale rider
The missus has it out for you
And if she sees you here
She gonna cut you through

Three days later he came knocking
And I was so surprised
He wasn't offering a coffin
He was there to socialize
I'm on a vision quest
And everybody's invited
Ain't I just the best?
It's so damn exciting

Oh, pale rider
You need a hell of talking to
Why don't you leave me be?
I got things to do
Oh, pale rider
The missus has it out for you
And if she sees you here
She gonna cut you through

Man it did get live
Man it did get live
Man it did get
Man it did get live
Man it did get
Man it did get live

Oh, pale rider
You need a hell of talking to
Why don't you leave me be?
I got things to do
Oh, pale rider
The missus has it out for you
And if she sees you here
She gonna cut you through
