The River Good Charlotte (Ft. M. Shadows & Synyster Gates)

[Verse 1: Joel Madden]
As I walk through the valley of the
Shadow of L.A.
The footsteps that were next to me have
Gone their separate ways
I've seen enough now to know that beautiful things
Don't always stay that way
I've done enough now to know this beautiful place
Isn't everything they say

[Pre-Chorus: Joel Madden]
I heard that evil comes disguised
Like the city of angels, I'm walking towards the light

[Chorus: Joel Madden]
Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
In the city, was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong, but I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son, I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered, I'm delivered

[Verse 2: M. Shadows]
You're from a small town, you're gonna grow up fast
Underneath these lights
Down in Hollywood on the boulevard
The dead come back to life
To the praying Mother and the worried Father
Let your children go
If they come back, they'll come home stronger
And if they don't, you'll know
