Hey girl, let's go down
Wash our hands
In the Carolina tide
Let's go down and die
And come back like babies
Hey girl, let's go down
Wash our sins
In the muddy brown waves
Wash the world away
And come back again
All these scarlet stains
Like the blood red clay
On the knees of our jeans
You can come out righteous
If you want babe
You can come out clean
Hey girl, drive all night
Down to the water
And live like we're alive
Let our sleeping die
And roll out of these graves
Hey girl the water don't know
The shore don't care
Who you were before
We're not them anymore
You know we're not the same
All these scarlet stains
Like the blood red clay
On the knees of our jeans
You can come out righteous
If you want babe
You can come out clean
Hey girl, let's go down
Wash our hands
In the carolina tide
Let's go down and die
And come back like babies
Hey girl let's go down
Wash our sins
In the muddy brown wave
Wash the world away
And come back again
