[Verse 1]
Out on the river, brought me to my knees
Down around the loch, gave you all my keys
You came forward heavy from out so far away
It's hard to see it comin' when the devil takes your name

[Pre-Chorus]
And I was bound to take the fall
I was bound to take the fall
Yes, I was bound, I was bound
I was bound to take the fall

[Chorus]
You caught an airplane and found a reason to live
It keeps you entertained because you got so much love left to give now
You got to take away, down to the last stone
You got me there because, now I want you, oh, I want you, so

[Verse 2]
Up on another river, sinkin' to my knees
Broken every lock and gave away all my keys
Fought to hold the levee but took on all the blame
I should've known when the road went cross where the devil takes your name

[Pre-Chorus]
But I was bound to take the fall
I was bound to take the fall
Yes, I was bound, I was bound
I was bound to take the fall
[Chorus]
You caught an airplane and found a reason to live
It keeps you entertained but you got nothin' much left to give, no
You got a take away, down to the last stone
You got it there but it don't want you, love don't want you, no

[Outro]
I was bound
I was bound to take the fall
Yeah, I was bound
I was bound to take the fall
