Salvation

This land where I was born

Near this old river

Nothing there to keep my heart from wondering

But there I'm tethered

Those ole stories haunt me

Those old stories are me

Everything I've ever loved

Is at the bottom of the river

Where we go to be reborn

A baptism in forever

I'm a 1,000 miles from home

I'm a 1,000 miles from nowhere

But tonight I'll close my еyes

And when I wake up I will be there

Take me south

Take me home

Where the sunsets glow

Where the trees bend down

And lay me below

Send me south

On the old Trinity

I'll meet the Shepherd's call

On that ole boat ride just going home

And she'll say, raise him up

Raise him up (raise him up)

Bring him south

To where the ole bells call

The trees have bended branches

The harsh winds have shaped them so

They embrace this hanging man that I am

Take me south, take me home

Where the Shepherd makes

His home each evening

And the Trinity River flows

Beast of the southern river

Beast of the southern wild

Take me south

Take me home

Where the sunsets glow

Where the trees bend down

And lay me below

Send me south

On the old Trinity

I'll meet the Shepherd's call

On that ole boat ride just going home

And she'll say raise him up

Raise him up (raise him up)

Bring him south to where the ole bells call

(Bring him home, yes bring him home)

Mmm, hmm

(Bring him home to where the ole bell call)

Home to where the ole bell call

(He's coming home, he's coming home)

Where's the sunset glows, lay him below

(He's coming home, he's coming)

He's coming home, lay, lay him below

(He's coming home, he's coming home)

Oh, oh, yes take him home

(He's coming home, he's coming home)

Oh, oh, oh
