I was caught in the landslide
Climbing up on the hill
To the top where the big cross
Stood silent and still
I was waiting for the next song
Coming at me off the street
Smoking up in the dance halls
Getting lost in the heat
Get me to the river
Pull me down under
Let it roll, let it roll
Over me
Get me to the river
Pull me down under
Let it roll, let it roll
Over me
I came to town for salvation
Banging on my drum
Lighting fires for the sinners
Calling out the chosen one
Get me to the river
Pull me down under
Let it roll, let it roll
Over me
Get me to the river
Pull me down under
Let it roll, let it roll
Over me
Standing by my window
Crossing over the sun
Everyday goes down so slow
But I'm still on the run
Oh Lord, won't you buy me
Just a little more time?
I've got the devil right behind me
Calling on me for my crime
Get me to the river
Pull me down under
Let it roll, let it roll
Over me
Get me to the river
Pull me down under
Let it roll, let it roll
Over me
