Lyrics:
And sold my truck
And said goodbye to Memphis
Man, I got goin’
Cause the goin’ was tough
So why’d I come back
If I’d had enough?
They say the River City
Was
Hey, sista, whacha gon' do
Goin' down by the river
Gonna play with you
Papa don't like no screamin' 'round here
No lip from da woman when they
was a big black car parked out by my backdoor
And a government man with a fat cigar said we couldn't live there anymore
Said they'd pay us for
head by a sweet river bed
But Sonny always remembers what it was his mama said
Sonny, don't go away, I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who
Hey, sista, whatcha gon' do...?
Goin' down by the river
Gonna play with you
Papa don't like no screamin' 'round here
No lip from da woman
Modern man has turned his back on old philosophies
Lost the spiritual universe and gained reality
Worship money, scientists and grim normality
What
with the pass
Was the man, 17 years old first time with some ass in my two palms
Grab on em but she told me I'm too strong, baby girl I'm too gone
But
to respect what
Paralyze the vision like Wu I will inspect ya
When I’m on my old Dirty bastard y’all play ketchup del monte tomatoes & onions I got your
out my window at the rivers of black
I wanna get out on the at highway and never come back
I set and wonder, has it all passed me by
Islands in the sky
on its way
In the last golden rays of twilight.
We watched the fireworks from our water tower perch
Shot our shotguns by the river.
We'd talk all night
fruit
Blessed are the rivers run dry
For we have come to the end of the world
To die
So die—die and become—perish, let go and be done
With all
made 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
I wonder what he'll think of me
I guess he'll call me the old man
I guess he'll think I can lick
Ev'ry other feller's father
Well, I can
I bet
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
Voices from the well
sing the latest news.
The river lost the race,
Steps were rolling down the stairway.
The ancient man above just
Can't make up
I remember our day at the Bombay Cafe
When I found out love ain't enough
The old man at the bar tossing dreams into jars
Said, "Girl he ain't
us back
I've a friend who lives out by the rivers mouth
He knows the fiddles cry is an old sound
A lonesome creeks and moans of empty houses
Are
From You Lord, from You
Old man looking out the window
Wondering where did all the time go
There You are
A mother praying for her lost son
deliverance I think like
Bright the fresh rivers stream
Take off my body like an old attrition coat
Heartily glad gets through my mind
As I fly over me
Is now
It's always understood
We like it laid back, old school in the deck
Cats ride around still blasting cassettes
Better watch your back partner when
You
path that forks at the pines
That takes you where the river bends
And an old barn owl singin' a little somethin'
And the breeze and the trees join in
