Jacob Bryant - Amen lyrics

I sold my soul to a man in a dark suit who said he believed in my dream
I left my home and all that was in it and headed up to Tennessee
Three years later I was caught up in it, there was no end in sight
I found myself in a concrete cell praying I'd make it through the night
And I'd pray

Oh, my mother, take me to the river and wash away all my sins
Baptize me in the rushing water, let me begin again
Father, won't you hear my cry, save my weary soul
I'm tired of runnin', I'm tired of hiding it's time for me to come home
And I prayed a amen amen amen
And I pray a amen amen amen
And I pray

Well, I wandered on my own then I hitched a ride home, it took me 40 days and 40 nights
When I hit mama's porch, I almost broke down cause she never turned off the lights
And I cried

Oh, my mother, take me to the river and wash away all my sins
Baptize me in the rushing water, let me begin again
Father, won't you hear my cry, save my weary soul
I'm tired of runnin', I'm tired of hiding, it's time for me to come home
And I prayed a amen amen amen
And I pray a amen amen amen
And I pray... yeah oh
And I pray

A amen amen amen
I prayed
A amen amen amen
