Lyrics

Baptized

Her skin was tan as the sand on the banks
Of the Cumberland River we lay
Her eyes were soft as sapphire stones
Her cheeks flush as Tennessee clay
When I told her that I never before
She said just leave it to me
She took my hands there in that sand
In a moments time I was set free

CHORUS
On the banks of the Cumberland River
Like a moth drawn down to a flame
On the banks of the Cumberland River
I was baptized in her name

That dirty water soon washed over me
And I was raised up brand new
I went down a kid still lost in my sin
Rose up with a new point of view
I wasn’t washed in her blood but the lack there of
Lit a fire I couldn’t contain
I saw the light there in her eyes
A dead man rose up from the grave

CHORUS

Bridge
And the veil was torn
And I was reborn

Chorus
