Bouncing off the bottom, Lord Drowning in despair
I used to think there was no satisfaction anywhere
Now. I'm walking everyday, a big smile on my face
Everybody's asking me Where I found this state of grace
Where you been? (Down by the river)
Are you going again? (Down by the river)
What ya gonna do then? (Down by the river)
Get on my knees and pray
Gonna talk it out. (Down by the river)
That's what it's all about. (Down by the river)
Not one shadow of a doubt. (Down by the river)
I thank the Lord I'm saved
Everyone around the world, no matter who they be
Men, women, boys and girls, sinners just like me
The rich, the poor, the hypocrites all benefit the same
Make a trip, take a dip
Brother, you'll be glad you came
Where you been? (Down by the river)
Are you going again? (Down by the river)
What ya gonna do then? (Down by the river)
Get on my knees and pray
Gonna talk it out. (Down by the river)
That's what it's all about. (Down by the river)
Not one shadow of a doubt. (Down by the river)
I thank the Lord I'm saved
You may have a high or low opinion of yourself
But either way, don't think that you're above nobody else
There's all kind of right and wrong, we're all bound to do
But keep in mind, there comes a time, that will be asked of you
Where you been? (Down by the river)
Are you going again? (Down by the river)
What ya gonna do then? (Down by the river)
Get on my knees and pray
Gonna talk it out. (Down by the river)
That's what it's all about. (Down by the river)
Not one shadow of a doubt. (Down by the river)
I thank the Lord I'm saved
