Black Water

It was down by the water

where the angry rivers rise

I was found by the preacher's

Whose love I can't deny

I was still so young

when I touched that gun

For the first time and it felt so right

So I packed my bag and I said goodbye

'Cause I knew I'd crossed that line

So as I turn out the light

You'd better not close your eyes

I might rip your heart out honey

I might steal your money too

Black water running through my soul

I'll be the ruin of you

I smiled like an angel

I was a streetwise seventeen

She was old enough to know better

When she took her chance with me

One respectable wife

With a taste for the darker side

I might rip your heart out honey

I might steal your money too

Black water running through my soul

I'll be the ruin of you

So as I turn out the light

You'd better not close your eyes

I might rip your heart out honey

I might steal your money too

Black water running through my soul

I might rip your heart out honey

I might steal your money too

Black water running through my soul

I'll be the ruin of you
