Three Feet of Water

Got a whole lot of years

And a whole lot of pain

And it all got me here

Where the river meets the clay

Rewindin' through my past

Tryin to find some good

But I can't seem to see

What mama always could

And that sun is shinin' down

On all my darker days

They're comin' to me now

As I hear the preacher say

In the name of the Son and the Father

Can I really leave it all

In three feet of water?

I can't unbreak the laws

Straighten out the rules I've bent

Take the broken dreams and hearts

Make 'em all whole again

I been carryin' around

All the messes that I've made

But a few more steps from now

They'll all be washed away

And that sun is shinin' down

On all my darker days

They're comin' to me now

As I hear the preacher say

In the name of the Son and the Father

Who'd've thought I could leave it all

In three feet of water

Washin' over me

Amazing Grace the choir sings

And now I know what mercy's all about

And that sun is shinin' down

And all my darker days

They're nowhere to be found

All that preacher had to say

Was in the name of the Son and the Father

Who'd've thought I could leave it all?

You took my cross so I could leave it all

In three feet of water

Mmm, in three feet of water

Mmm

So, it's that simple, huh?
