Well I'm standing all alone by the river of my home Thinking about the days I've left behind All the years I roamed not a nickel can I show And the river helps to ease my worried mind Well the river run all night, lord, the river runs all day I can't run no more cause I'm here to stay I had an eye for trouble and I've lived a life of pain I sit back and let that water heal my brain I'm letting go of all my troubles I think I'll be right here to stay Well the water keeps a churning while my poor heart is burning Muddy water take my pain away Well one thing I want to know, lord, is where we people go When everything comes crashing to the ground Meet me at the creek grab a beer and tap your feet See that muddy water flowing down I'm letting go of all my troubles I think I'll be right here to stay Well the water keeps a churning while my poor heart is burning Muddy water take my pain away Well I'm standing all alone by the river of my home Thinking about the days I've left behind All the years I roamed not a nickel can I show And the river helps to ease my worried mind I'm letting go of all my troubles I think I'll be right here to stay Well the water keeps a churning while my poor heart is burning Muddy water take my pain away Muddy water take my pain away

Even now The world is bleedin' But feelin' just fine All numb in our castle Where we're always free to choose Never free enough to find I wish somethin' would break 'Cos we're runnin' out of time And I am overcome, yeah I am overcome Holy water in my lungs I am overcome There's women in the street Pullin' out their hair My master's in the yard Givin' light to the unaware This plastic little place Is just a step amongst the stairs And I am overcome, yeah I am overcome, baby Holy water in my lungs, yeah I am overcome So drive me out Out to that open field Turn the ignition off And spin around Your help is here But I'm parked in this open space Blockin' the gates of love And I am overcome, yeah I am overcome, baby Holy water in my lungs, yeah I am overcome, yeah, yeah I am overcome, oh Lord I am overcome, baby Holy water in my lungs,holy water, holy water) I am overcome Beautiful drowning This beautiful drowning This holy water This holy water is in my lungs And I am overcome I am overcome, yeah, yeah I, I, I am overcome I am overcome
