lyrics

Got a story about the time I slipped under the water
Black as ink and cold I'm sinking to the river bottom
Swept away under the weight of too much to be forgiven
From far away a voice is saying, God still loves you sinner

Got a story about a girl I met in Kansas City
With Spanish eyes, oh she's quick to smile, her kisses taste like whiskey
Swept away under the weight of past sins and misgivings
She whispers close into my ear, I still love you baby

But I don't, oh I don't
All my days I've lost or wasted so I don't

Got a story about the time I ran and came home bloodied
I was just a child, I was full of pride, and found my mother waiting
Swept away under the weight of all her expectations
She took my hand and then she said, I still love you baby

Got a story about the time I slipped under the water
Black as ink and cold I'm sinking to the river bottom
