Hey, Mister police man
Better make the call
I think your bullet, it hit me
Before it hit the wall

Don't bring me no doctor
Just let me fall and fade away

Well, I close my eyes now and I see I'm not alone
I hear the angels and they want me to come home
"He was the joker", they'll be writing on my stone
Just lay me down, just lay me down and let me go
Just let me go

I never wanted no trouble
But it follows my name
Just the way the cards fell
At the end of the game

Don't call me no preacher
Just let me fall and fade away
I don't need no preacher
Just let me fall and fade away

Well, I close my eyes now and I see I'm not alone
Well, I hear the angels and they want me to come home
"He was the joker", they'll be writing on my stone
Just lay me down, just lay me down and let me go
Just let me go, just let me go

Hey, mister police man
Well, I place no blame
Fate has its reason
Well, I was in the way

Don't call my sister
Just tell them all, I went away
Don't call my sister
Just tell them all, I went away

Well, I close my eyes now and I see I'm not alone
I hear the angels and they want me to come home
"He was the joker", they'll be writing on my stone
Just lay me down, just lay me down and let me go
Just let me go, just let me go, just let me go
