I used to be brash
I used to be bold
Lived off rhythm and road
Burnt every bridge
Swindled and stole
Sold all stake in my soul
I went down to the creek
To roll away stones
But the water kept begging my bones
I started to sink
Too late to atone
Drowning in the sins that I've sewn
Friends, I used to have plenty
But the devil within me convinced me to roam
Where the hill country ends and skies turn empty
No God can defend me from the evil I've known
I try to pretend redemptions in reach
I'd like to believe forgiveness suits me well
Maybe in grave, I'll finally find peace
An acre in heaven or a kingdom in hell
I went down to the creek
Where the sky turns empty
The devil convinced me I'd finally find peace
I started to sink
God please forgive me
I wanna believe that redemptions in reach
