it sat beside his bed as near as it could go
he read it every night just before he'd go
asleep for the night with his dreams in a fight, god save his soul
his mama'd say to him, don't be afraid son. there's no way you'll go
all the way down
all the way down
all the way down
all the way down
his mama tells him, read it and you'll be alright
he took its every word and made it his life
all the way down
all the way down
all the way down
all the way down
he never stood a chance with his coughing at night
he never thought we'd ever make it out of the light now
he read it every night just before he'd go
asleep for the night with his dreams in a fight, god save his soul
his mama'd say to him, don't be afraid son. there's no way you'll go
all the way down
all the way down
all the way down
all the way down
his mama tells him, read it and you'll be alright
he took its every word and made it his life
all the way down
all the way down
all the way down
all the way down
he never stood a chance with his coughing at night
he never thought we'd ever make it out of the light now

"it" is the bible? "all the way down" meaning hell?
I don't think it's right for one minute. I really believe that there's something deeper in this, but I'm not quite sure what it is.
Here are the new versions lyrics;
Don't trust her, she'll break your heart
Would you change? Would you?
Hold tears you wont forget
Would you change?
All the way down x4
Lie back, close your eyes
Would you change? Would you?
Think of anything
Would you change?
All the way down x4
All the way down
"his mama tells him, read it and you'll be alright
he took its every word and made it his life"
makes it sound like his 'mama' has pushed him towards religion by making him read the bible to avouid goin 'all the way down' which i think in this term means hell
