Lord knows I've spent too many nights down, wasted on a bathroom floor
Lord knows I've loved too many lives to not believe in love anymore
Lord knows I'm headed down a path that'll hand me on the wrong side of heaven's door
I know He's up there somewhere tired of counting how many times I swore
And that I tried to do better
And that I tried to be good
Well, I'm leaving it all behind
Setting out to find my peace
Take the sins on my hands to the river bend
And pray God wash them clean
Lord knows
Lord, Lord, Lord knows
Lord knows if mama knew the things I'd done
She wouldn't recognize the woman here now
Lord knows
Lord knows it was more than my pride that convinced me that I was alone in figuring it out
Lord knows I've let the devil and his fleet toss anchor on sacred ground
I know they're down there somewhere
I can feel the heat of the fire as they shout
And that I'll never be better
And that I'll never be good
Well, I'm leaving it all behind
Setting out to find my peace
Take the sins on my hands to the river bend
And pray God wash them clean
Yes, I'm leaving it all behind
Jesus gonna set me free
He'll take the sins on my hands to the river bend
And there He'll wash them clean
Lord knows
Yes, I'm leaving it all behind
Jesus, go and set me free
He'll take the sins from my hands
To the river bend
And there He'll rise again
Oh, the Lord knows
Oh, the Lord knows
