Verse 1
Well I grew up down the hollow where the county lines bend
Where the pines all whisper secrets and the cold creek winds
And my brother Freddy wore a smile like a silver blade
Carved his name across the pew where the kids all prayed
Verse 2
He took the last of mama's biscuits off the warming tray
Said the good Lord owed him something from the wrecked corn maze
Told the sheriff's daughter he would teach her how to fly
Left a mess of broken bottles when the sun got high
Pre-Chorus
Oh the ledger's getting heavy
Oh the pages turning slow
Chorus
Freddy will get his karma
Down the line it's coming round
What you sow you're gonna harvest
When the fallow ground turns loud
Freddy will get his karma
Every whisper finds the light
And the river keeps on running
Through the black of New Haven night
Verse 3
Now the neighbors lock their shutters when his truck rolls past
With the rusted bumper dragging and the engine half-mast
He calls out to the children from the gravel and the clay
But nobody comes running when the evening fades to gray
Pre-Chorus
Oh the scales are getting level
Oh the reckoning is near
Chorus
Freddy will get his karma
Down the line it's coming round
What you sow you're gonna harvest
When the fallow ground turns loud
Freddy will get his karma
Every whisper finds the light
And the river keeps on running
Through the black of New Haven night
Bridge
Mm the mailbox swings on a broken hinge
Mm the porch light hums a tired little hymn
Mm the old dog waits at the empty gate
Mm the frost will settle on the ground
Chorus
Freddy will get his karma
Down the line it's coming round
What you sow you're gonna harvest
When the fallow ground turns loud
Freddy will get his karma
Every whisper finds the light
And the river keeps on running
Through the black of New Haven night
Outro
Karma karma karma
Mm-hmm
Karma karma karma
Coming round now
Karma karma karma
Mm-hmm
