The River Lyrics

I went down to the river to find my love

She was washed and with a kick

Off into the mud

Tossing with the tide

I hung my head down, praying to the sky

I buried my seed down in that woman so deep

I wonder which way

And what's to come of me

Oh, we'll see

The skies look mournful

The skies look grey

Miles gonna take my pain away

Watching TV

All night drive

Lean my head out

Oh, that's nice

Life's too short, and who gives a damn, oh

Cause when you're gone, you lose all you have

Hanging around town with you on my mind

Does me no good all the time

Drunk, out of cologne

Hopin' to hell, it gets you home

My love, my love

It's too late now

Wade, wade, washed in the tide

You turn your little head

Waving goodbye, ye, ye, ye, ye

Oh God, woo

My head, my head is shinking

I could take a little pressure

Take my life back, woo

Hey

Staring down the lonely road

About to get my ticket and go, oh

Oh, whoa, oh
