To The River

I've never been an honest man

I've taken fools for all I can

Running with thieves and beggars

And Christ-forsakers

Been off the grid since '95

'Cause men like me don't stay alive

But it's getting old, it's getting tired

I'm going down, down to the river

To wash my life or sins away

I'll let the tears of my Creator

Go decide my fate

I don't know where I'm going

But I trust the current to set me on my way

I'm going down, down to the river

To cleanse what soul I've left to save

Going to the river

Gonna purify

Going to the river

Live or die

There ain't no whiskey strong enough

Or prayer that seems to get to God

I've tried it all, but those demons won't go

So I'll throw my body in and let it roll, roll, roll

I'm going down, down to the river

To wash my life or sins away

I'll let the tears of my Creator

Go decide my fate

I don't know where I'm going

But I trust the current to set me on my way

I'm going down, down to the river

To cleanse what soul I've left to save

Going to the river

Gonna purify

Going to the river

Live or die

One day, I will have to atone

For every stick and stone I've thrown

I'm going down, down to the river

To wash my life or sins away

I'll let the tears of my Creator

Go decide my fate

I don't know where I'm going

But I trust the current to set me on my way

I'm going down, down to the river

To cleanse what soul I've left to save

Going to the river

Gonna purify

Going to the river

Live or die

Going to the river

Going to the river

Oh, I'm going to the river

Going to the river
