River (Live) Lyrics

Afraid he was a loner

He's been living as a rover

But all in all, his dreams

and all the melodies

In his head keeps him lucid

He's been smoking cigarettes

And chewing dip to fit in Texas

Jumping off of shit

He's smiling but really reckless

All alone and he's freaking now, but in his dreams he's lucid

Slow down Mississippi stream

Can you ship me up to Ohio please

Oh I don't belong in New Orleans

Because all they say is New Orleans

And no town Mississippi sky

How It's looking like me and you tonight

When I dream of home your not in my mind

But we roll on, yeah we roll on

Oh this river

Oh this river

Is she ever

Is she ever going to change her ways, well that I doubt

Mississippi you led me

Down

Down

Whoa now Mississippi sky

How it's looking like me and you tonight

When I dream of home your not in my mind

But we roll on, yeah we roll on

Oh this river

Oh this river

Is she ever going to change

Take me up north

Take me up north

Take me way up north

Take me up north, up north

I thought I saw a city light

It's just refineries

My cigarette alone

Keeps reminding me

I'm breathing in the smoke

Down in New Orleans

Smoking cigarettes

And chewing dip to fit in Texas

He's jumping off of shit

He's smiling but really reckless

He's way down

Oh he's way down

Smoking cigarettes

And chewing dip to fit in Texas

He jumping in the sticks

He starts to wonder where the west ends

He's way down

Oh he's way way way down
