Lyrics
Take me to the river town
Where you can't tell night from day
and everything's forgiven, that did not wash away
Where dreamin' comes to easy
and livin's twice as hard
and everything is buried, beneath the water and the stars
Here I am from Corsicana
Wayward on the storm
I been rollin' empty sevens, since the day that I was born
Got no rings upon my fingers, no ink beneath my skin
I'll be as clean goin' out, as I was comin' in
(chorus)
I'm gonna wash my sins in the Angelina River
When all that she can take from me, is all that I can give her
Time will bring you down, and time will make you old
I turned my back some time ago and I am going home
Well I wandered through the pine trees, like an outlaw in the rain
I rambled through big thicket with a pistol and my name
Run away restless angels, don't waste your love on me
Just lay me down in a river town, and home is where I'll be
(chorus)
