River Take Me |
| It’s been rainy and windy for seven days straight |
| I’ve been going to bed early and getting up late |
| I look out my window and it’s one shade of gray |
| My wife and my kids don’t have much to say |
| A man out of work only gets in the way |
| Oh the river is rising now one inch an hour |
| And tonight we’ll be lucky if we still have power |
| But I’ve got a flashlight, an oil lamp and I’m ready to go And a fresh set of batteries for my son’s radio |
| If the dam really breaks, least we’ll know where to go River take me, river take me River take me far from troubled times |
| River take me, river take me River take me far from troubled times |
| If I had a boat you know what I’d do? |
| I’d float me and my family down to Baton Rouge |
| I wouldn’t work in no factory I’d live off the land |
| And live within means of my own two hands |
| Dance Saturday nights to a Zydeco band |
| Oh the river flows and a young man dreams |
| And the river can drown you |
| Or it can wash you clean |
| It can take you away to some other place |
| It can power your cities, carry your waste |
| And give all that you drink a peculiar taste |
| Oh, don’t look to me, I’ve done my time |
| You see I’ve had too many dreams for this one heart of mine |
| And I’ve stood on the bridge with the river below |
| Feeling all of the sadness that a proud man could hold |
| Oh the river is full but there’s no way to go |
