Deep river woman Lord I'm coming home to you Deep river woman Lord I know she's waiting Just anticipating all my love I spent a night Just another chance to see you Just you and I Wanted you to know That my playing days are over Cause all I do is think of you The writing's on the wall I've been out in the world Yes, the fast life had me going Now all that's changed I finally make up my mind About the one thing I've been knowing You're the only girl I've ever crying for in this world You kind of love is forever It took me a long time to realize That I've come so far And end up going nowhere Oh, girl, I need you by my side
