Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Lyrics

Was born and raised in the South 
In Suicide Town 
I was only fifteen 
When it burned to the ground 
I tore up all my memories 
By the side of the road 
With a tip of a needle 
I carved my story in stone 

When you gonna come for me, Lord? 
When you gonna come for me? 
Cause I've been expecting you forever 
Waiting here for you 
Will you send a little grace? 
It's the least that you could do 
It's the least that you could do 

I was not much of a poet 
Guess I was missing the anguish 
Not a very good lover 
Could never capture the language 
I was an adequate painter 
But it just left me tired 
Did a stint as a hit man 
In those days at least I was inspired 

Oh, but when you gonna come for me, Lord? 
When you gonna come for me? 
Cause I've been expecting you forever 
Waiting here for you 
Will you send a little grace? 
It's the least that you could do 
It's the least that you could do 

I hooked up a hick down in the church 
I took a walk down Big Dream Boulevard 
With all the sand that gets into this world 
We should all be motherfucking pearls 

When you gonna come for me, Lord? 
When you gonna come for me? 
Cause I've been expecting you forever 
Waiting here for you 
Will you send a little grace? 
It's the least that you could do 
It's the least that you could do 

I'm never gonna be one of God's favorites 
Never gonna cheerlead with the angels 
Tried to find a church that I could walk in 
They tried to nail me on original sin 

Oh, when you gonna come for me, Lord? 
When you gonna come for me? 
I've been expecting you forever 
Waiting here for you 
Will you send a little grace? 
It's the least that you could do 

Been expecting you forever 
Waiting here for you 
Will you send a little grace? 
It's the least that you could do 
It's the least that you could do 
The least that you could do
