Riverbed be soft, be a soft landing
Riverbed be soft, be a soft landing
Especially for a friend, who committed a sin
Where your poppa got really discraced
So if this river carries evil away
Wonder why you shiver
At mistakes you made
Guess this river will always stay
Running through your veins
Down by the river, saw the preacher, eh
It was down by the river saw power take
It was down by the river that caused me to break
An old man speaks to god
It was down by the river I first lost a love
And it was down by the river, I was lonely as fuck
It was down by the river we could never catch up
It was just sank by trust
So if this river carries evil away
Why do I shiver at mistakes I made?
Guess this river will always stay
Running through my veins
And it was down by the river,
It was down by the river
It was down by the river
