Meat Loaf Dirty Water Lyrics

Preacher man says, going straight to hell
Confess you sins and redeem yourself
Fire and brimstone are on your trail
Wash your soul with Jesus

Yeah

So I went to the altar and turned the lights
Scared that the preacher man might be right
I knew, my friend, if I left that night
Gotta give my soul to Jesus

Yeah

Backslide
Lord, I slid of the track
Tack me back
It's not my fault
I'm falling in a river of sin
The watering hole
I could lose my soul
Must have been dirty water

Yeah
Yeah!

Been told by the Devil all my life
Go for revenge, even He ain't tried
I beg for forgiveness every time
I wash my soul with Jesus

Women, whisky damn near killed me
Body's drunk but my mind is dripping
I'm so bad my momma's guilty
Wash my hands in Jesus Backslide
Lord, I slid of the track
Tack me back
It's not my fault
I'm falling in a river of sin
The watering hole
I could lose my soul
Must have been dirty water …

Backslide
Lord, I slid of the track
Tack me back
It's not my fault
I'm falling in a river of sin
The watering hole
I could lose my soul
Must have been dirty water

Yeah
Yeah
(Dirty water)
At the watering hole
(Ooh)
(Lose my soul)
Must have been dirty water
(Ooh)
The watering hole
I could lose my soul
Must have been dirty water
Yeah
(Ooh)
Wash my soul in Jesus
(Jesus)
Oh yeah
I wash my soul in Jesus, yeah, yeah
Must have been dirty water
(Wash my soul)
Jesus
Oh yeah
(Wash my soul in Jesus)
Yeah
Wash my soul in Jesus...
