[Verse 1]
The river is my savior
'Cause she used to be a cloud
She's happy just to lay there
When she used to be so proud
And even when she dries up
A thousand years from now
I'll lay myself beside her
And call her name out loud
[Verse 2]
The river is my savior
The only one I'll ever need
Wash my head when I've been sinnin'
Wash my knuckles when they bleed
Protect me from my neighbor
All his jealousy and greed
Take the body to the delta
Hide the weapon in the weeds
[Bridge 1]
But now I'm tired and a little bit confused
Regarding what I meant to do and what I did
The men I've hired, they all seem to be afraid of me
They turn their eyes away from me like kids
