It was down by the water
where the angry rivers rise
I was found by the preacher's daughter
Whose love I can't deny
I was still so young
when I touched that gun
For the first time and it felt so right
So I packed my bag and I said goodbye
'Cause I knew I'd crossed that line
Pre-Chorus
So as I turn out the light
You'd better not close your eyes
I might rip your heart out honey
I might steal your money too
Black water running through my soul
I'll be the ruin of you
VERSE
I smiled like an angel
I was a streetwise seventeen
She was old enough to know better
When she took her chance with me
Pre-Chorus
One respectable wife
With a taste for the darker side
I might rip your heart out honey
I might steal your money too
Black water running through my soul
I'll be the ruin of you
Pre-Chorus
So as I turn out the light
You'd better not close your eyes
I might rip your heart out honey
I might steal your money too
Black water running through my soul
I'll be the ruin of you
I might rip your heart out honey
I might steal your money too
Black water running through my soul
I'll be the ruin of you
