Lyrics:
mean we? (Aiyyo man you changed)
But around my neck, I got the rope chain
It's Greg Nice and I'm gonna go far
I get my hair cut, at the Superstar
We're
Down at the edge, round by the corner
Not right away, not right away
Close to the edge, down by a river
Not right away, not right away
Crossed
girl standing
In a doorway in the gloom
We'd hardly started talking
The old scenario
And I just let her work me over
Down by the Ohio
River
And you'll find out the hard way: you get no respect
[Old hustler:]
Man, you must be crazy and bugged
Whatcha mean I don't get no respect?
You crazy?
And there we were, screamin', "Black Lives Matter" in the crowd
By the Old Man River, and I saw you saw who I am
God, I wish I was with my father
He could
brought him to this prison on that old Big River Train
We became the best of buddies side by side through thick and thin
Then one night he told his story
drinkin' lappin' water like a dog
Tiger Whitehead's in the bed sleepin' like a log
Tomorrow he'll see bear tracks seven intches wide
And by sundown he'll be
dancing to the thump of angel wings!
They grab a mate
And roller skate
While Judy Garland sings!
They live a playful afterlife that's fancy-free
by the corner,
Not right away, not right away
Close to the edge, down by a river,
Not right away, not right away
Crossed the line around
all out of trouble
Even though he would leave
He wore his heart on his sleeve
And by the way that he walked
He taught me how to believe
Old man look
I am an old man, my life is nearly gone
Yet I remember as sure as I sing this song
The old Elk River and my home along its side
Where by its banks
my red shoes, I want to dance
They search for an answer
But that old man wouldn't listen
Back then I was handsome
Back then he was ignorant
up a smoke and tell a few jokes
And pass the old jug around
We're gonna get right on a Saturday night
When the sun goes down
Down on the river
a river blowin'
Every so mean guy
Just so lips are happy
But sad AK get his steam
Line up in balls
Sigh
Now's attacking but they give me O
Poor old Misato
all about
Down by that old creek
But I, I cant breathe
You are the man I aspire to be
And I, I'm asking god why
Life moves to fast, only so much
Down by the river where the old willows bow
Marked by time, their branches hanging low
There where the aspens stand and hide
Witness stories, day
day I saw an old man pleading for a handful of coal;
His wife was dying of cold and he was penniless.
Maybe in the morning, as the politician sipped
won't fit your door
I don't wantcha like I used to
This old man wants you more
Hey hidee ho
I used to go where the devil wouldn't go
Where the river run
confused by the smile I used
I might have been grinning but I am not amused
Suspicion made my eyes old they no longer glisten
Innuendo whispers to those who
River
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we
And there was an old woman and she lived in the woods
A weila weila waila
There was an old woman and she lived in the woods
Down by the River
my way, take a boat from the river and I'd bury the old man.
I'd bury him at sea.
Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth.
Better
that man a drink when you see him
Rest in peace Melissa Garland, rest in peace Scotty Harris, G-Town, Germantown
Germantown was so hot, back in
the young man
Cuz the old man's not that dumb
The River Runs
Another day goes by
I'm looking into you
I want to spend my life
Loving you
I don't know if I
