The Water
Oh Lord, can you help a brother
Oh Lord, I've been a sinner
Oh Lord, I need salvation
Oh Lord, can you help me find my way
Water can make us clean
I wanna be dirty
I went down to the railroad
To buy myself a seat
Wanna leave this city
Get away from the peoples screams
I thought I had a problem
That's until I saw him
He was a cussin and a drinkin
He made people get up and leave
If I'm living here tomorrow
I'm not living for the day
I ain't going down the dirt road
I'd sooner not live that way
Oh Lord, I went down to the river
Oh Lord, to wash my face in forgotten dreams
Oh Lord, gonna poison my liver
Oh Lord, float face down in the stream
The Water can make us clean
Oh Lord, I've been a sinner
Oh Lord, I need salvation
Oh Lord, can you help me find my way
Water can make us clean
I wanna be dirty
I went down to the railroad
To buy myself a seat
Wanna leave this city
Get away from the peoples screams
I thought I had a problem
That's until I saw him
He was a cussin and a drinkin
He made people get up and leave
If I'm living here tomorrow
I'm not living for the day
I ain't going down the dirt road
I'd sooner not live that way
Oh Lord, I went down to the river
Oh Lord, to wash my face in forgotten dreams
Oh Lord, gonna poison my liver
Oh Lord, float face down in the stream
The Water can make us clean
