Lord, I'm calling to confess
That I've had sinning on my mind
I've been gambling every morning
And I've been cheating every night
Well, the fire slowly rises
And it catches on to my feet
Like the willow (like the willow) in Old Reno (in Old Reno)
I'll be burning until I leave, hmm
Well, I don't think that yesterday
You saw me in the way you used to see me
I recollect the pieces of the broken man
I built on twenty years of being free
Like you were some angel looking over me
You showed me what it means to be alive
Take me to the river's edge and send me off
I know I'll see my time
Oh, now that sunrise, it brings darkness
So I find shelter from the night
In the barroom where I've seen sorrow
And unwelcome finishes in sight
Well, Lord, I'm calling, do right by me
It'll all wash out, when it feels the rain
'Cause the outlaw that I run from
Finds me hiding in my mirror every day, hm
Well, I don't think that yesterday
You saw me in the way you used to see me
I recollect the pieces of the broken man
I built on 20 years of being free
Like you were some angel watching over me
You showed me what it means to be alive, hmm
Take me to your river's edge and send me off
I know that I'll see my time
Hmm, mm
