C Am F Dm
[Verse 1]
C Am F
I've been traveling down this river

I got to make some quick decisions
Dm C
Should I go left or should I go right?

I pray for guidance and protection

It keeps my boat water tight

Every little thing's all gonna be alright
[Chorus]

The vampires gather around me

Angling to take a bite

No, for one truth I learned in life

You simply guide them into the light

Call my name to kingdom come
