Well I've tried and I've tried
But the river seems so wide
And my head hurts and my hands are tied
And it's so hard
When you're standing on the yard
Every time that your number comes around

Call me up in dreamland
Radio to me man
Get the message to me 
Any way you can
Let your river roll
Way down to your soul 
Never to grow old 
On a saxophone

From the airport to the plane 
Way to the railroad train 
Why don't we take it from the top
And start over all over again
Every time you hear that whistle blow
You know you gotta put on your show 
Every time your number comes around

Call me up in dreamland
Radio to me man
Get the message to me 
Any way you can
Let your river roll
Way down to your soul 
Never to grow old 
On a saxophone

From the car to the bar
Why don't you pour it in a jar
And put a label on it 
And send it off to the lost and found
You gotta get it in your brain
Before you go insane
Every time your number comes around

Call me up in dreamland
Radio to me man
Get the message to me 
Any way you can
Let your river roll
Way down to your soul 
Never to grow old 
On a saxophone

Never to grow old 
On a saxophone
Never to grow old 
On a saxophone
Never to grow old 
On a saxophone
