They never built a bridge here
You just drive through the water
Hope once you get there
It don't rain up a river
Me I hope it pours
And forgiveness been delivered
Frio river won't you flood
And wash my sins away
Let'em roll on down to Corpus Christi bay
I've been drug out through the mud
Stiped of all my faith
I could use an excuse to stay another day
It Sounded like a freight train
A ten foot wall of water
Swept away everything
The canyon had to offer
And me I’m on the bank
Kneeling at the alter
Frio river won't you flood
And wash my sins away
Let'em roll on down to Corpus Christi bay
I've been drug out through the mud
Stiped of all my faith
I could use an excuse to stay another day
It taught me to swim
And it taught me to love
It’s where I first saw the stars above
Kept me cool on those august days
Can you just do me one more thing
Frio river won't you flood
And wash my sins away
Let'em roll on down to Corpus Christi bay
I've been drug out through the mud
Stiped of all my faith
I could use an excuse to stay another day
