Down the River Lyrics

I was sittin' in the backseat rollin' out of town

With the radio up and the windows down

I'm leavin' here tomorrow

Spent a long time lookin' and a long time gone

I'm sittin' in the back with my work boots on

I'm leavin' here tomorrow

Yeah, I'm leavin' here tomorrow

And I'll go find my home on down the river

Well, I never stopped lookin' and I never could see

What the dirty old city had done to me

I'm broke, down, tired and disgusted

Well, I'm lookin' for a woman to ease my mind

But an easy goin' woman is hard to find

Just searchin' this here city

Just searchin' this here city

So I'll go find my home on down the river

No, you won't believe

What this life got up its sleeve

Lie among the leaves

In the grass next to me

Well, I'm turnin' that corner in a pickup truck

I'm a-stayin' out of jail and I'm tryin' my luck

Just workin' for a living

Well, I'm workin' out of town

I'm workin' in the mines

And all I gotta show is this money of mine

But a bad girl, she's hard to look at

And a good girl, she's hard to find

And so I'll go find my home on down the river

So I'll go find my home on down the river
