lyrics

Where you gonna be when the good lord calls you home
sitting at your desk or sitting on the throne
coughing up the remnants of last night’s fun gone wrong
Where you gonna be when the good lord calls you home

Where you gonna be when your name comes to the top
make up an excuse and tell it to the cops
ain’t nobody gonna listen until your lyin’ stops
Where you gonna be when your name comes to the top

Where you gonna be when the horsemen ride you down
foreclosing on the land of a farmer who is down
or jackin’ up the rent on a single mom downtown
Where you gonna be when the horsemen ride you down

How you gonna react to the moving hand of god
will you tremble in your shoes with your face down in the sod
will you run like hell and hope you don’t get caught
How you gonna react to the moving hand of god

Will your feet be in the sand when Jesus knocks upon your door
your dreams will wash away when you crash on through the floor
all you try to hold on to will never stand no more
Will your feet be in the sand when Jesus knocks upon your door

Will you be ready at the fountain for the lamb of god to call
will you be ready when what you thought was mighty starts to fall
will you call upon your neighbors and family and all
Will you be ready at the fountain for the lamb of god to call

Where you gonna be when the good lord calls you home
sitting at your desk or sitting on the throne
coughing up the remnants of last night’s fun gone wrong
Where you gonna be when the good lord calls you home

about

Charlie Parr image

Charlie Parr Duluth, Minnesota

"Parr is scruffy and uncomfortable looking, with a longish beard and balding head. He dropped out of high school in the 1980s, but he looks older than that. He's pathologically deadpan in his delivery of in between song banter. The crowd really enjoyed his depressingly hilarious dead cat story. He never smiles." - Lucy Steigerwald
