Steamboat |
| Wasting away on the mighty Mississippi |
| Hoping god forgives me for my sins |
| Well starlight stained steamboats, and a rich man clears his throat |
| Took a sip of whiskey from his glass |
| The piano plays softly and his daughter screamed, «get off me» |
| His wife she died a few years back |
| He drinks and drinks for days but the memories they stay |
| And the tears they flow like alcohol |
| Well his daughter she loves me, said she’s always thinkin of me |
| That’s why I stand here on this boat today |
| I watched a rich man clear his throat |
| But what that rich man doesn’t know is that I’ll take his life away |
| Please forgive me god for the things I’ve done |
| I could hide my problems, I could run |
| But it was I who held the gun, and I am the setting sun |
| And I promise I will never, ever run |
| I said, «take me down where the lovers died.» |
| Where those steamboats don’t go, and that Mississippi flows all night |
| Wastin' away where the lovers died |
| Wastin away on the mighty Mississippi |
| Hoping god forgives me for my sins |
| Well It was I who held the gun and I am the setting sun |
| And I promise I will never, ever run |
