The River - Intellectual

[Intro]

Preacher, take me down

Take me down the river, river

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

And 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?

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, the moment that I saw them kiss

Oh, I knew it had to end like this

[Chorus]

Preacher, take me down

Take me down to 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

(Whoa, whoa, river, river)

[Verse 3]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, if you give me one more chance

Oh, I'll never shoot him down again, so

[Chorus]

Preacher, take me down

Take me down to 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

[Bridge]

(Oh) Take me down

River, river

(Oh) Take me down

[Chorus]

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

(Whoa, whoa, river, river)

[Outro]

(Whoa, whoa) I took that loaded gun

(Whoa, whoa) Forgive what I have done

(Whoa, whoa) So preacher, take me down

(Whoa) Take me down the river, river
