Lyrics

Tailwaters of Cherokee gently, flowing at my feet
On a perfect day back home in East Tennessee
We've seen a lot of pain these days, we've lost a lot of ground
I wanna cleanse my soul in her waters let her wash my sins on down
Wash my sins down
He thinks that we're just out here fishing, chasing Brooks and Browns
One day he'll know where a piece of Heaven on this earth can be found
Heaven on earth sure can be found
God of the river won't you wash aways my sins
Push that pain downstream I don't wanna feel again
Cold waters cleanse me, help me to see
A little light in the darkness, tailwaters of Cherokee
He casts a line out in her waters and I just stop and stare
Just beyond the shallow riffles, I swear my daddy's standing there
He's got the fire down in his belly, he's got a poet's soul
One day he'll learn to tame the lions, one day he'll just let go
I pray he'll just let go
God of the river, won't you wash aways my sins
Push that pain downstream I don't wanna feel again
Cold waters cleanse me and help me to see
A little light in the darkness, tailwaters of Cherokee
Tailwaters, tailwaters, tailwaters of Cherokee
