Well I've been dealing with devils
From the start of a young teenage age
And I've been missing out on so much
I feel like I'm drowning in my ways
But I keep singing baby oh
Oh no don't bring me by the water
Cause the last time I was there
I tried to jump right in singing oh
Oh no don't bring me by the water
Cause I never want to feel that feeling again
I meant oh I meant
So bury me at the crossroads
Or down by the riverbed
Give me a place where words aren't spoken
A quiet place to rest this head
Cause I've been trying for so long
To find this aching body sleep
Well I'll keep singing all these songs
Till I find this weary soul some peace
Keep singing like
I'm all run out of stories
I just tell them again like they did it before
I've got to find my own voice
Or embrace the river like an open door
You got me singing baby oh
Oh no don't bring me by the water
Cause the last time I was there
I tried to jump right in singing oh
Oh no don't bring me by the water
Cause I never want to feel that feeling again
I meant oh I meant
So bury me at the crossroads
Or down by the riverbed
Give me a place where words aren't spoken
A quiet place to rest this head
Cause I've been trying for so long
To find this aching body sleep
And I'll keep singing all these songs
Till I find this weary soul some peace
Keep singing like
So bury me at the crossroads
Or down by the riverbed
Give me a place where words aren't spoken
A quiet place to rest this head
Cause I've been crying for so long
To find this aching body sleep
And I'll keep singing all these songs
Till I find this weary soul some peace
Keep singing like
