West of Memphis - Can't Get to Heaven(before You Go Through a Little Hell) Lyrics

Take me to the river
Wash me in the water
Let it take all the sin I lay down on my soul
Hold me beneath the moonlight
Everything is gonna be alright oh lord
To get to heaven you know you got to go through a little bit of hell

Born under a bad sign
Born into this bloodline
Where the hard times won't let me be
Rain keeps falling
But I can't change my wicked ways oh lord
To get to heaven you know you got to go through a little bit of hell

I sing the blues today as I drift on down by the hollow
To ease my troubled mind
Of all those things that I've lost in between

Take me to the water
Wash me in the river
Let it take all the sin I lay down on my soul
Drinking that moonshine
Walking that hard line oh lord
To get to heaven you know you got to go through a little bit of hell

I sing the blues today as I drift on down by the hollow
To ease my troubled mind
Of all those things that I've lost in between

Coming off the mountain
The dust clouds rolling
I was born to lose but I can make it by
My heart weighs heavy
In these troubled times oh lord
To get to heaven you know you got to go through a little bit of hell
