[Verse 1]
I've been waiting too long for a break in the rain
Making up some new truth watching these old clouds move
I'm thinking I might do the same
I'll will set up my chair here and rock me to the edge of this porch
Hoping I might fall down into the grass and muddy ground
And be someplace I've never seen before

[Chorus]
Well, I got these two feet, but damn them
A broken heart can't beat worth living
And I'm here in the rain and sleet and the wind
God give me a river and wash me away
God give me a river and wash me away

[Verse 2]
I've been crying for days now and
Somehow the sun never ceases to shine
Lord is this some big trick, tell me I can make it
And cross into your loving light

[Chorus]
Well, I got these two feet, but damn them
A broken heart can't beat worth living
And I'm here in the rain and sleet and the wind
God give me a river and wash me away
God give me a river and wash me away
[Verse 3]
When the man from the town came
He took more than my dear Jenilee
He took my boy Isaiah, and when I see the rain come
I feel like he done taken all of me

[Chorus]
I got these two feet, but damn them
A broken heart can't beat worth living
I cried and I witnessed lord as he took them
God give me a river and wash me away
God give me a river and wash me away
God gave me a river and washed me away
