Walking By the River |
Walking by the river |
Watching my tears roll out to the sea |
Walking by the river |
Stormy trouble will never drown for me |
If pain was a sailor |
I could sail a ocean-liner |
If pain was a jailer |
I could shackle that ocean-liner |
If pain was a tailor |
I could sew that ocean-liner |
To a river-boat, to rest on |
On up to South Carolina |
'Stead of walking by the river |
Watching my tears roll out to the sea |
Walking by the river |
Oh, stormy trouble won’t ever drown for me |
See, I must be fool enough |
To hang out in a hurricane |
Long enough to wash away |
My whole family name |
And fool enough to wait |
In ten feet of rain |
If I drown, I got nobody |
But myself to blame |
Yeah, blues with whiskey |
I stay drunk all the time |
Yeah, if bad news was risky |
I’d be convicted of every crime |
Yeah, if happiness was money |
I’d never have a lousy dime |
If I could just raise the price of a ticket |
I’d head on up the line |
'Stead of walking by the river |
Watching my tears roll out to sea |
Walking by the river |
Stormy trouble won’t drown for me |
Still walking by the river |
Watching my tears roll out to the sea |
Walking by the river |
Stormy troubles ain’t gonna drown for me |
Walking by the river |
Been watching my tears roll out to the sea |
Walking by the river |
Stormy trouble ain’t gonna drown for me |
