Lyrics:
love for real
There's a god in the sky
'Cause we made it all night
The warm river flowing inside
But the river ran dry
As day went by
He
By a loving or a vengeful God
Or one who condescends
Who'll wash his hands down in the mire among the misery of men
Or by ever turning circles
You were a teacher who wanted to be taught
You took a chaser and finally got caught
I lost the light of my life to the river, the cruel river's
course
Take it up by the river, I'm gonna give you more
Ride the rockin' horse, hey, ride the rockin' horse, yeah
Got the top down, wishin' on a star,
Juanita and Chucho went down to the river
Stood on the banks of the Magdalena
The missed their days at Hacienda Napoles
Where they always got paid
Lookin' for a brighter tomorrow
Hopin' that the wind and rain is clear
Layin' down by the river
Wearin' out my old blue jeans
So many things
Lookin' for a brighter tomorrow
Hopin' that the wind and rain is clear
Layin' down by the river
Wearin' out my old blue jeans
So many things
Burl Ives - John Hardy
John Hardy was a desperate little man
He carried two guns every day
He shot down a man on that West Virginia line
You ought
at me.
I guess I was awakened by the penetrating sound of my own screaming
And it didn't take me long to stumble out of bed and fall down on my knees.
Did you ever stand and shiver
While looking at a freezing river
Have you froze to the bone
With just a coat to keep you warm
To keep you from
racing in the rapids
There's only one way, that's to ride.
Taken down, taken down
By the undertow
I'm spiraled down the river bed,
My fire is burning
John Hardy was a desperate little man
He carried two guns every day
He shot down a man on that West Virginia line
You ought a seen John Hardy
the rapids
There's only one way that's to ride
Taken down, taken down by the undertow
And I'm spiraled down the river bed
My fire is burning low
Catching
you're racing in the rapids
There's only one way, that's to ride.
Taken down, taken down
By the undertow
I'm spiralled down the river bed,
My fire
wet forests on our
Moonlight drive, baby
Moonlight drive
Come on, baby, gonna take a little ride, down
Down by the ocean side, gonna get real
Did you ever stand and shiver
While looking at a freezing river
Have you froze to the bone
With just a coat to keep you warm
To keep you from
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We looked down the river and we seed the British come
flows right through my veins
I'm a motor at heart
And if I don't start
I get pissed off just the same
Your high heeled river of love
Is drippin down your
This is our blood flowing down the river,
This is our blood you’re trying to wash away
This is our blood flowing down the river,
This is our Blood that’s
down
Break away from this town
But a glance at your eyes
And I'll be here forever
River flows, who knows where it goes
But I'm far too deep now
I was walking down a fiery trail
Took me down to a stone valley
Very narrow walls
And I came to the end of the trail
There was a river
With an old
Fold me up - put my body in the river
Wash me down with lies and soap
Fold me up - taste the blood between your fingers
Swallow though I’m poison in
motorboatin’
The river water’s flowin’
Like the cold beers that are open
Boats all around going up and down
That Mississippi highway close to town
There’s just
a town by the tidewater
Right near the Chesapeake bay
But when I go back it's not my life
It's different and everything's changed
I'm homesick for
