[Lyric] River Live at SXSW 2015 (Leon Bridges)

[Verse 1]
Been traveling these wide roads for so long
My heart's been far from You
Ten thousand miles gone

[Refrain]
Oh, I wanna come near and give
Every part of me
But there's blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean

[Verse 2]
In my darkness I remember
Mama's words reoccur to me
"Surrender to the good Lord
And He'll wipe your slate clean"

[Chorus]
Take me to Your river
I wanna go
Oh, go, take me to Your river
I wanna know
[Verse 3]
Dip me in Your smooth water as I go in
As a man with many crimes, come up for air
As my sins flow down the Jordan

[Refrain]
Oh, I wanna come nеar and give
Every part of me
But thеre's blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean

[Chorus]
Take me to Your river
I wanna go, oh, now
Oh, go, take me to Your river
I wanna know

[Bridge]
Mm-mm-mm
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know

[Chorus]
Lord, please let me go
Take me to Your river
I wanna go, now
Please let me know
Take me to Your river
I wanna know
[Outro]
Thank y'all very much
See y'all next time
