Kneelin' down by the river, another day panning for gold
Can't even remember what I got to sell my soul
Well it's all kinda blurry, can't see through the haze
So I'm down on my knees just praying for better days
Well I know it wasn't love, and I know it wasn't money
Might as well have been the liquor cause my head feels kinda funny
And I know it wasn't strength, and I know it wasn't power
cause I'm going blind getting weaker by the hour
Oh it must have been the river
cause it keeps on calling me back home
Back home
Every ripple's just another memory, every wave's another sweet song
bout the years gone by and the tales of right or wrong
So looked into the water
Yeah I looked down deep
Then the darkness looked back and said, Your soul is mine to keep!
So I jumped into that shameful cold
Wrestled old man river for my sinful soul
As he dragged me to the bottom
I lost my last breath
Then I put him in a stranglehold
And I drug him up out of that deep dark cold
And ripped my spirit from his withered hands
Oh, oh
Oh, you can't trust that river
If it's callin' you best just walk on by
Walk on by
Kneelin' down by the river, crawlin' away from the shore
Ain't gonna turn my back on the river no more
Kneelin' down by the river, another day panning for gold
Can't even remember what I got to sell my soul
Well it's all kinda blurry, can't see through the haze
So I'm down on my knees just praying for better days
Well I know it wasn't love, and I know it wasn't money
Might as well have been the liquor cause my head feels kinda funny
And I know it wasn't strength, and I know it wasn't power
cause I'm going blind getting weaker by the hour
Oh it must have been the river
cause it keeps on calling me back home
Back home
Every ripple's just another memory, every wave's another sweet song
bout the years gone by and the tales of right or wrong
So looked into the water
Yeah I looked down deep
Then the darkness looked back and said, Your soul is mine to keep!
So I jumped into that shameful cold
Wrestled old man river for my sinful soul
As he dragged me to the bottom
I lost my last breath
Then I put him in a stranglehold
And I drug him up out of that deep dark cold
And ripped my spirit from his withered hands
Oh, oh
Oh, you can't trust that river
If it's callin' you best just walk on by
Walk on by
Kneelin' down by the river, crawlin' away from the shore
Ain't gonna turn my back on the river no more
