Out on the river
Brought me to my knees
Down round the lock
Gave you all my keys
You can't pull the heavy
From out so far away
It's hard to see it coming when the devil takes your name

And I was bound to take the fall
I was bound to take the fall
Yes, I was bound
I was bound
I was bound to take the fall

You caught an airplane
And found a reason to live
It keeps you entertained
'Cause you got so much love left to give, now
You gotta take away
Down to the last straw
You got there 'cause
Now I want ya, oh I want ya so

Upon another river
Sinkin' to my knees
Broken every lock
And gave away all my keys
Fought to hold the leave'
Took on all the blame
I should've known where the broke went cross when the devil takes your name

But I was bound to take the fall
I was bound to take the fall
Yes, I was bound
I was bound
I was bound to take the fall

You caught an airplane
And found a reason to live
It keeps you entertained
'Cause you got nothing much left to give, no
You gotta take away
Down to the last straw
You got there but
It don't want ya, love, don't want ya, no

I was bound
I was bound to take the fall
I was bound
Yeah, I was bound to take the fall
