DOWN TO THE RIVER

Seems I might’ve had enough

I can’t take one more crazy love

Drinkin’ poison that I mixed myself

Tastes good when it’s goin’ down

I’m feelin’ fine, I’m feelin’ well

Then you go get off on someone else

I can’t stand for it

Seems you’ll lie for it

Take me down to the river

And bathe me in the blood of the water

And I will confess to the preacher that I’ll be up to no good

Time is such a nasty thing

She makes you think she’s everything

But now I know it’s never what I think

So here we are watchin’ me fall

I’ve been the clown, I’ve played the fool

But honey, it’s just fire to my fuel

I can’t stand for it

Seems you’ll lie for it

Take me down to the river

And bathe me in the blood of the water

And I will confess to the preacher that I’ll be up to no good

I’d like to think I’m innocent

They’ve taken more than what I gave ‘em

In a sense, I’ve made my peace with it

But who will be there to pick up

The fallen pieces left behind me

Seems to be that I’m the only one

Take me down to the river

And bathe me in the blood of the water

And I will confess to the preacher that I’ll be up to no good

Take me down to the river

And bathe me in the blood of the water

And I will confess to the preacher that I’ll be up to no good

Take me down to the river

And bathe me in the blood of the water

And I will confess to the preacher that I’ll be up to no good

I will confess to the preacher that I’ll be up to no good
