Another Fine Mess

[Verse]
It’s another fine mess, I’ve gotten us into
(Got nothing to show but the blood on my hands.)
Still holding the dress that she poured herself into
(The one that she wore to the homecoming dance.)
We never arrived at our destination
(Never showed up, I had other plans.)
Made a wrong turn when we came to the crossroads
(Got nothing to show but the blood on my hands.)

[Chorus]
No, she never saw it coming when she go into the car
Goin' down to the lake, gonna wash my sins away
Goin' down to the water's edge to pray

[Verse]
It’s another fine mess, i’ve gotten us into
(Sentenced to hang for committing this crime.)
Tried to explain, but I couldn't begin to
(Couldn't recall key moments in time.)
Now I'm climbing the steps to the goddamn gallows
(So weak in the knees I can hardly stand.)
Just moments away from meeting the maker
(Got nothing to show but the blood on my hands.)

[Chorus]
No, she never saw it coming when she got into the car
Goin' down to the lake, gonna wash my sins away
Goin' down to the water's edge to pray
And I'm goin' down to the lake, gonna wash my sins away
Goin' down to the water's edge to pray
