Lyrics
0:01(Preacher, take me down)
0:02(Take me down the river, river)
0:06It's not what I had planned
0:07when I was walking in
0:08I didn't know what I'd see
0:11Stepping through the door,
0:12their clothes were on the floor
0:14Was something like a bad dream
0:17And then in just a blink,
0:18before I could think
0:19I didn't know what happened
0:22All I knew was this
0:24How could he commit a crime
0:25against our passion
0:27Oh... the moment that I saw them kiss
0:32Oh... I knew it had to end like this
0:38Preacher, take me down
0:40Take me down the river, river
0:43I couldn't help myself
0:46When I saw him with her, with her
0:49I took that loaded gun
0:51Forgive what I have done
0:54So preacher, take me down
0:57Take me down the river, river
1:05(River, river, river, river)
1:11The writing's on the wall,
1:12but it was his fault
1:14How could anybody blame me
1:16I swear to tell the truth,
1:18and if you only knew
1:19I swear you'd do the same thing
1:24If you give me one more chance
1:27I'll never shoot him down again
1:32Preacher, take me down
1:35Take me down the river, river
1:38I couldn't help myself
1:40When I saw him with her, with her
1:43I took that loaded gun
1:46Forgive what I have done
1:48So preacher, take me down
1:51Take me down the river, river
1:59(Take me down)
2:04(Take me down)
2:07(Take me down)
2:10(River, river)
2:13(Take me down)
2:16Preacher, take me down
2:19Take me down the river, river
2:21I couldn't help myself
2:24When I saw him with her, with her
2:27I took that loaded gun
2:29Forgive what I have done
2:32So preacher, take me down
2:35Take me down the river, river
2:42(River, river, river, river)
2:49I took that loaded gun
2:51Forgive what I have done
2:54So preacher, take me down
2:57Take me down the river, river
(Preacher, take me down) (Take me down the river, river) It's not what I had planned when I was walking in I didn't know what I'd see Stepping through the door, their clothes were on the floor Was something like a bad dream And then in just a blink, before I could think I didn't know what happened All I knew was this How could he commit a crime against our passion Oh... the moment that I saw them kiss Oh... I knew it had to end like this Preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river I couldn't help myself When I saw him with her, with her I took that loaded gun Forgive what I have done So preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river (River, river, river, river) The writing's on the wall, but it was his fault How could anybody blame me I swear to tell the truth, and if you only knew I swear you'd do the same thing If you give me one more chance I'll never shoot him down again Preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river I couldn't help myself When I saw him with her, with her I took that loaded gun Forgive what I have done So preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river (Take me down) (Take me down) (Take me down) (River, river) (Take me down) Preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river I couldn't help myself When I saw him with her, with her I took that loaded gun Forgive what I have done So preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river (River, river, river, river) I took that loaded gun Forgive what I have done So preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river
