Lyrics Machine Born to Think - The Bonnevilles

Machine Born to Think

Going down to the river
Going down to the river to die
Going down to the river
Going down to the river to die
Sitting on my shoulders
Now’s a couple of pounds of lead
I’m a machine that was born to think
And it has gone straight to my head
Going down to the river
Going down to the river to die
Going down to the river
Going down to the river to die
Got five pounds of mud kicking up each boot
These chains are eating into me, into my very roots
Going down to the river
Going down to the river to die
Going down to the river
Going down to the river to die
I haven’t been home in just about a week
I’m a six day drunk and I’m gonna do this thing yeah
Going down to the river
Going down to the river to die
Going down to the river
Going down to the river to die
Got five pounds of mud, kicking up each boot
These chains are eating into me, into my very roots
Sitting on my shoulders
Now’s a couple of pounds of lead
I’m a machine that was born to think
When it has gone straight to my head
I haven’t been home in just about a week
I’m a six day drunk and I’m gonna do this thing, yeah
I’ve already told you about these couple pounds of lead
I’m a machine that was born to think and it has gone straight to my head
Going down to the river
Going down to the river to die
Going down to the river
Going down to the river to die
Sitting on my shoulders
Now’s a couple of pounds of lead
I’m a machine that was born to think
When it has gone straight to my head
I’ve never been a king
A thing
