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
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 Sun 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
Hmm, in three feet of water, hmm

So, it's that simple, huh?
