[Verse 1] I sold my soul to a man in a dark suit who said he believed in my dream I left my home and all that was in it and headed up to Tennessee Three years later I was caught up in it, there was no end in sight I found myself in a concrete cell praying Id make it through the night And Id pray [Chorus] Ohh my mother take me to the river and wash away all my sins Baptize me in the rushing water, let me begin again Father wont you hear my cry, save my weary soul Im tired of runnin, Im tired of hiding its time for me to com home And I prayed a Amen Amn Amen And I pray A Amen Amen Amen And I pray [Verse 2] Well I wandered on my own then I hitched a ride home it took me 40 days and 40 nights When I hit mamas porch, I almost broke down cause she never turned off the lights And I cried [Chorus] Ohh my mother take me to the river and wash away all my sins Baptize me in the rushing water, let me begin again Father wont you hear my cry, save my weary soul Im tired of runnin, Im tired of hiding its time for me to come home And I prayed a Amen Amen Amen And I pray A Amen Amen Amen And I pray yeah ohh And I pray [Outro] A Amen Amen Amen I prayed A Amen Amen Amen
