Seven Dips Video (MV)

I was stubborn as a mule, too proud to bend
Thought I'd find my own cure, make my own amends
But my skin was cracked, my soul was stained
Needed somethin' more than just the rain

Seven dips in the river, wash away my pride
Thought I'd never need help, but man, I tried
Ain't no quick fix, no magic wand
Seven dips later, I'm still holdin' on

My mama said, "Boy, you can't heal with grit"
But I'd rather spit nails than just admit
The dirt I'm wearin' ain't all that clean
Got to face the truth or face the stream

Seven dips in the river, wash away my pride
Thought I'd never need help, but man, I tried
Ain't no quick fix, no magic wand
Seven dips later, I'm still holdin' on

Sometimes the cure ain't what you planned
You get tossed in the water, but you stand
And when you're drownin', that's when you see
It's the seventh dip that sets you free

Now I'm walkin' with scars, but I'm walkin' tall
Ain't ashamed of the cracks; they're proof I crawled
Learned to listen, learned to fall
Seven dips later, I've faced it all

Seven dips in the river, wash away my pride
Thought I'd never need help, but man, I tried
Ain't no quick fix, no magic wand
Seven dips later, I'm still holdin' on
