There's blood in the water and it's under my skin The mess that I started keeps pulling in Got away with murder in the bed we laid in The blood in the water what a mess I'm in So take me to the promised land, walk me down to the river Shotgun in the other hand will take me down much quicker I've got to find my peace of mind Cause I've been chained to where the sun don't shine I made a deal with the devil out on the crossroad But the grass is always greener on the other side Caught in the trouble, my suffering ten fold But baby don't you cry, baby don't you cry Well he threw me off the track and pulled me straight to the bottom Ain't no one way to kill a man, the devils real I've fought him I've got to find my peace of mind cause I've been chained to where the sun don't shine I made a deal with the devil out on the crossroad But the grass is always greener on the other side Caught in the trouble, my suffering ten fold But baby don't you cry, baby don't you cry Don't you cry Don't you cry Don't you cry Take me to the promised land, walk me down to the river Shotgun in the other hand will take me down much quicker I've got to find my peace of mind Cause I've been chained where the sun don't shine
