Priest Town Creek
Redemption by the Waters: Priest Town Creek Chronicles
Lyrics
The old black top meets that old dirt road
The intersection of the old blacktop road and a dirt road near Priest Town Creek.
By the Priest Town Creek and an old fence row
Near the creek and an old fence row.
The church still stands but the weeds are all grow'd
The church still stands, but the surroundings are overgrown with weeds.
The Priest Town Creek is where I saved my soul
Priest Town Creek is a significant place where the singer feels they saved their soul.
Well I found this place when I's about nine
The singer discovered this place at the age of nine.
I was trekking them woods across a county line
The singer explored the woods across a county line.
Before I could think twice I was standing all alone
The singer found themselves alone after a quick decision.
And staring at the Devil on the Priest town road he said
The Devil appeared on the Priest Town road and spoke to the singer.
Son won't you come with me
The Devil invites the singer to join him.
I'll make you what you wanna be
A promise to fulfill the singer's desires in exchange for their soul.
All I ask of you is for your soul
The Devil's request for the singer's soul.
And ill take you where you wanna go
The Devil promises to take the singer wherever they want.
But if you wanna run and be free
A warning that freedom comes at a cost.
You better bathe in the water down at Priest Town Creek
To be truly free, the singer must bathe in the water of Priest Town Creek.
I felt the chills and Evil run-in down my spine so I headed to the church by the river side
The singer felt a chilling and evil sensation, leading them to the church by the river.
I felt my heart grow colder and my skin get hotter, I dove into that holy Priest Town Creek water
The singer felt a change in their heart and skin, diving into the holy water of Priest Town Creek.
When I cam up I was still in fright, but all I could see was a blinding light
After emerging from the water, the singer saw a blinding light.
It was all so much I kept my eyes closed until I heard my name called by the Holy Ghost He said
The singer kept their eyes closed until called by the Holy Ghost.
Son won't you come with me
Repeat of line 23.
I'll make you what you wanna be
Repeat of line 24.
All I ask of you is for your soul
Repeat of line 25.
And ill take you where you wanna go
Repeat of line 26.
but if you wanna run and be free
Repeat of line 27.
you better bathe in the water down at Priest Town Creek
Repeat of line 28.
They said Son won't you stay with me
Others ask the singer to stay, promising to fulfill their desires.
I'll make you what you wanna be
Repeat of line 31.
All I ask of you is for your soul
Repeat of line 32.
And ill take you where you wanna go
Repeat of line 33.
But if you wanna run and be free
Repeat of line 34.
You better bathe in the water down at Priest Town Creek
To be truly free, the singer must again bathe in the water of Priest Town Creek.
