The River

Lyrics

[Intro] Preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river [Verse 1] It's not what I had planned when I was walking in I didn't know what I'd see Stepping through the door, their clothes were on the floor Was something like a bad dream [Verse 2] And in just a blink, before I could think I didn't know what happened All I knew was this How could he commit a crime against our passion? [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the moment that I saw them kiss Oh, I knew it had to end like this [Chorus] Preacher, take me down Take me down to the river, river I couldn't help myself When I saw him with her, with her I took that loaded gun Forgive what I have done So preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river (Whoa, whoa, river, river) (Whoa, whoa, river, river) [Verse 3] The writing's on the wall, but it was his fault How could anybody blame me? I swear to tell the truth, and if you only knew I swear you'd do the same thing [Pre-Chorus] Oh, if you give me one more chance Oh, I'll never shoot him down again, so [Chorus] Preacher, take me down Take me down to the river, river I couldn't help myself When I saw him with her, with her I took that loaded gun Forgive what I have done So preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river [Bridge] (Oh) Take me down (Oh) Take me down (Oh) Take me down River, river (Oh) Take me down [Chorus] Preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river I couldn't help myself When I saw him with her, with her I took that loaded gun Forgive what I have done So preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river (Whoa, whoa, river, river) (Whoa, whoa, river, river) [Outro] (Whoa, whoa) I took that loaded gun (Whoa, whoa) Forgive what I have done (Whoa, whoa) So preacher, take me down (Whoa) Take me down the river, river
