Good Charlotte - The River (acoustic version) lyrics

Joel Madden As I walk through the valley of the shadow of LA The footsteps that were next to me Have gone their separate ways I've seen enough now to know that beautiful things Don't always stay that way I've done enough now to know this beautiful place Isn't everything they say I heard that evil comes disguised Like a city of angels, I'm walkin' towards the light Baptized in the river I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered In the city was a sinner I've done a lot of things wrong but I swear I'm a believer Like the prodigal son I was out on my own Now I'm tryin' to find my way back home Baptized in the river, I'm delivered I'm delivered M. Shadows You're from a small town you're gonna grow up fast Underneath these lights Down in Hollywood on the boulevard The dead come back to life To the praying Mother, the worried Father Let your children go If they come back, they'll come home stronger And if they don't you'll know Joel Madden They say that evil comes disguised Like a city of angels, I'm walkin' towards the light Baptized in the river I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered In the city was a sinner I've done a lot of things wrong but I swear I'm a believer Like the prodigal son I was out on my own Now I'm tryin' to find my way back home Baptized in the river, I'm delivered I'm delivered Madden: Baptized in the river Shadows: On my own Madden: Baptized in the river Shadows: On my own Madden: I wanna be delivered Both On my own On my own Madden: Baptized in the river Shadows On my own Madden:I wanna be delivered Baptized in the river Shadows:On my own Madden:I wanna be delivered Baptized in the river Shadows:On my own Madden: I wanna be delivered I confess I'm a sinner I've seen a vision of my life And I wanna be delivered
