River Run Clean
Lyrics
Verse 1
I was knee-deep low
Thought that hole was home
Spent my fair share fallin'
On that hard red stone
But I found a door
Where the dark won't stay
One step, then another
Now I walk this way
Pre-Chorus
I learn to be still
I learn to let go
I learn from the field
And the creek that rolls
Every day I show up
Every day I try
Ain't no shame in startin'
When you want to live right
Chorus
I'm comin' back clean
I'm comin' back clean
Got my hands open wide
And my heart finally seen
Self-love, patience
Gratitude in my chest
I'm comin' back clean
And I'm givin' my best
Verse 2
Now I'm teachable
Like a pine in the rain
Every man's got a lesson
Every wound got a name
From the people I've met
To the roads I've crossed
I can learn from the hurt
Even when it cost
I get what I give
That's a law I know
So I plant good seed
And I let it grow
Pre-Chorus
I learn to be still
I learn to let go
I learn from the field
And the creek that rolls
Every day I show up
Every day I try
Ain't no shame in startin'
When you want to live right
Chorus
I'm comin' back clean
I'm comin' back clean
Got my hands open wide
And my heart finally seen
Self-love, patience
Gratitude in my chest
I'm comin' back clean
And I'm givin' my best
Bridge
I held my own eye
Through the pain and shame
When the night got heavy
I still called Your name
From addiction to living
That's a long damn climb
But I'm proof that mercy
Can change a man's mind
Chorus
I'm comin' back clean
I'm comin' back clean
Got my hands open wide
And my heart finally seen
Self-love, patience
Gratitude in my chest
I'm comin' back clean
And I'm givin' my best
Outro
Hard work, day by day
That's the road I choose
What I lost got buried
What I found can't lose
I'm comin' back clean
I'm comin' back clean
