Lyrics
I’m gonna take these divorce papers
Burn the damn house down
Got a blank check written in the devil’s hand
Gonna cash it in a river town
When your ashes mix with the water
All smooth and serpentine
One long step from the bridge to the bottom of the river Rhine
I’d eat crow in the garden of Eden
Give a limb to watch you cry
And I thank the good Lord Jesus
For ruining your life
When your ashes mix with the water
I’ll peel that clementine
One long step from the bridge to the bottom of the river Rhine
Oooh ooh ooh oooh oooh (4x)
You ground up my forgiveness
You’re just the takin’ kind
My heart’s been closed for business
It’s well past quitting time
When your ashes mix with the water
I’ll have mercy on my mind
One long step from the bridge to the bottom of the river Rhine
One long step from the bridge to the bottom of the river Rhine
