lyrics

Lay me down in the river let the water wash over my shoulders
Lay me down in the river where the water runs deep and cold
Lay me down in the river let the water wash over my shoulders
Lay me down in the river let the muddy waters cleanse my soul

Been waitin all these years for your time to come around
All life ever did it seems was let you down
So you swore by God above youre gonna up and leave this town
Never seemed to find your feet a place on solid ground

Lay me down in the river when the rain comes fallin down
Cleanse my heart cleanse my mind lead me on

Lay me down in the river let the water wash over my shoulders
Lay me down in the river where the water runs deep and cold
Lay me down in the river let the water wash over my shoulders
Lay me down in the river let the muddy waters cleanse my soul

You know I aint ever been the holy rollin kind
Rather pack my bags roll up and smoke my troubled clouded mind
But I could never earn the steadfast love that shines
Or the blood inside my veins with a heartbeat keepin time

We’re all still fightin a war
Lion prowls can ya hear him roar
The river runs
The river rolls to the Eastern Shore

Well I know the lost are found each time I find my way
And I know enough to say I love you
Whether or not you‘re gay
Or if you hate if you lie
When we dont see eye to eye
If we cheat and if we steal
When we dont face what is real
When we fail when we get high
When we never wonder why
In this place beneath these stars
Words that heal these broken hearts
If it takes all night and day
I still know enough to say
Living here aint for the faint of heart anyway

We’re all still fightin a war
Lion prowls can ya hear him roar?
The river runs
The river rolls to the Eastern Shore

Lay me down in the river let the water wash over my shoulders
Lay me down in the river where the water runs deep and cold
Lay me down in the river let the water wash over my shoulders
Lay me down in the river let the muddy waters cleanse my soul
