I hope this is an enjoyable ride down the instrumental road of life.
This is a very unique song for me, I laid down my drums, keyboards were next, I added the guitar and then the strings.  The odd thing is, each instrument was one take, improvising each one and leaving it as it is.  I've done this with a few cuts but never all in one take with no editing.  It just seemed to work for some reason.

#194  Ain't Death A Bitch 

 I've heard so many times that life is a bitch. So here we have a somewhat rascally Grim Reaper giving his point of view. And of course he gives a little plug for Bill The Bellhop.

Lyrics:

I am the reaper 
Nothing to fear (ha ha)
I'm here take you on your way 

It doesn't matter 
Who you were
No longer matters what you say

Up there is heaven 
Down there is hell
You'll hear the song of angels 
Or hell's bells

one road was narrow 
one road was wide
only one way there
I'm here take you on that ride

Yeah, life can be a pain
Cause your mind to glitch
Life can drive you straight insane 
But ain't death a bitch

It doesn't matter if you're poor
It doesn't matter if you're rich
You've gotta pay the piper 
Ain't death a bitch 
And here's a story with a twist..

She loved helping out the helpeless 
She gave everything she could 
One night of fun and frolic
Now her spirit burns like wood

But the guy who stole from everyone 
And partied every night
Found his soul on golden roads
Because of something he did right

Life can turn you upside down 
Till you don't know what from which 
Life can spin you all round
But ain't death a bitch

You'll never have to worry
About anything again
All you need to do
To check out is check in
Ask for Bill the Bellhop

Life can can really take a toll 
And toss a wild pitch
Life can twist your mortal soul 
But ain't death a bitch

Life is as crazy as it seems
Off the road and in a ditch
Life is but a dream
But ain't death a bitch

Try to live the best that you can
And help your fellow man
Cause when you reach the pearly gates
You'll be judged right where you stand

Ain't death a bitch

Ain't Death A Bitch
