River (Live on Austin City Limits) Lyrics

Been traveling these wide roads for so long
My heart's been far from you
Ten-thousand miles goneOh, I wanna come near and give ya
Every part of me
But there's blood on my hands
And my lips aren't cleanIn my darkness I remember
Momma's words reoccur to me
"Surrender to the good Lord
And he'll wipe your slate clean"Take me to your river
I wanna go
Oh, go on
Take me to your river
I wanna knowTip me in your smooth waters
I go in
As a man with many crimes
Come up for air
As my sins flow down the JordanOh, I wanna come near and give ya
Every part of me

But there's blood on my hands
And my lips aren't cleanTake me to your river
I wanna go
Go on,
Take me to your river
I wanna knowI wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna knowTake me to your river
I wanna go
Lord, please let me know
Take me to your river
I wanna know
