I used to be brash
I used to be bold
Lived off rhythm
and road
I burned every bridge
swindled and stole
Sold all stake
in my soul
I went down
to the creek
to roll away stones
The water kept begging
my bones
I started to sink
too late to atone
Drowning in the sins
that I've sewn
Friends I used
to have plenty
But the devil within me
convinced me to roam
Where the hill country ends
and skies turn empty
No God can defend me
from the evil I've known
I try to pretend
redemptions in reach
I'd like to believe
forgiveness suits me well
Maybe in grave
I'll finally find peace
An acre in heaven
or a kingdom in hell
I went down
to the creek
where the sky
turns empty
The devil convinced me
I'd finally find peace
I started to sink
God please forgive me
I wanna believe that
redemptions in reach
