Lyrics:
Through the Sunset Bar to the River of Lights
Bad baby by my side
And she's drinkin Four Loko
In her purple bathrobe
This city is sinkin
I gotta quit
a fighting man, a punch drunk old lout
Well he drinks the whiskey and he drinks the gin
He's drinking and fighting to deal with his sin
Regret, regret it
thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee
We flew straight across that river bridge, last night half past two
The switchman waved his
bye, bye
Headed off for a beer
The boat not small the cave cold `n dump
Man this is so dark
But strangely enough I don`t feel the fear
My friends are by
the swagger old spice
Before I slit my throat with dull bread knives
Float the river STYX, coins on my cold dead eyes
Got broke, got broke, got broken
Who knew
My First Kiss I Was 12 On My Tractor
A Cute Little Blonde Everyone Was After
Southern Country Lady Charmer
Got Buck Naked Swam In The River
Met
home
Young lovers, young lovers, young lovers
They drive me right out of my mind
Lying down by the river
Whispering 'forever'
Young lovers, they
It's a slow builder
And the night is your special friend
Midday fever gonna get to you in the end
Someone's waiting on a windswept hill
Old man
the little children of the world.
Mississippi, in sixty-one, they watched his Daddy die,
Guided by the light of a burning cross, that lit the delta sky.
The man
The hell that I knew
Don't look him in the eye
You can't undo
They're crying by the pool
He's so mean, so cool
That body that got them blind
Old
and not all that strong
Sonny works on the land though he’s barely a man
There’s not much to do but he does what he can
Sits by his window in his room by
after midnight
I was sitting in a tavern
I saw him playing cards
And I went over to the old man
He said I read inside the cards all about your life
Do you
Ayodhya was a magnificient city
on the banks of the river Sarayu.
The people of the city lived a happy and contented life,
As they were ruled by
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee
We flew straight across that river bridge,
Last night half past two
The switchman waved
the paint
Pimpin' ass real nigga
I squeeze big ass and big trigga
And leave hard weak ass niggas in big rivers
Who in the fuck got stuck you bucked
tribes for breakfast
Ravenous, wait until the moon is in it's crescent
Black obelisk surrounded by primates
Time waits for no man, mindstate will
left to stand on
I'm a man-child, you already know
Running free as a banjo roll
Getting by, pickin' choosin'
Life gets real, so I don't do it
Divided,
Conquered by the white man
Against us united (Uh)
Greed seeps through the cracks
Infests everything black (Yeah)
Grass roots
Rooted in poison
All
the river
And we sat down in the grass
By the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Oh yes
Those crazy years, that was
pleased
(Spoken verse)
The old man by the wayside said
The road is never straight ahead
We cannot see around each bend
Nor fathom what the fates portend
You've got black hair that floats like a river
As it falls down the back of your neck
But your heart is so cold that I shiver
Then your trail is
our way along the river
And we sat down in the grass by the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Oh, yes
Those crazy
the river
And we sat down in the grass
By the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Oh yes
Those crazy years, that was
the river
And we sat down in the grass
By the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Oh yes
Those crazy years, that was
