Laughing River |
I’m goin away |
'cause I gotta busted heart |
I’m leavin' today |
If my Travel |
All will start |
And I reckon where I’m headed |
I might need me different clothes- |
Way up in Michigan |
Where the Laughing River flows |
Twenty years in the minor leagues- |
Ain’t no place I didn’t go |
Well I gotta few hits |
But I never made the show |
And I could hang on for a few years |
Doin what I’ve done before |
I wanna hear the Laughing River |
Flowin' right outside my door |
My cousin Ray |
Said he’s got a job for me |
Where the houses are cheap |
And he knows this nice lady |
He said she even saw me play once |
Said she smiled at my name |
Well upon the Laughing River |
Could be a whole new game |
So goodbye to the bus |
Good bye to payin' dues |
Goodbye to the cheers |
And goodbye to the booze |
Well I’m trading in this old bat |
For a fishing pole |
I’m gonna let the Laughing River |
Flow right into my soul |
