The River

It's not what I had planned when I was walking in
I didn't know what I'd see
Was stepping through the door
The clothes were on the floor
It was something like a bad dream
And in just a blink before I could think
I didn't know what happened
All I know is this
How could he commit a crime against our passion
Oh... the moment that I saw them kiss
Oh... I knew it had to end like this

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

The writing's on the wall but it was all my 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
Oh... if you give me one more chance
Oh... I'll never shoot him down again

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

take me down
take me down

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
