Joe Bonamassa - The River Lyrics
Down by the riverThat's where I broke down and criedDown by the riverThat's where I lay down and diedGoing down to the riverFor as long as I can standMama told me "Son,"as she took a hold of my hand"Water runs so deep,Deep as all my pain,"Down by the river, honeyLord, can I be saved?I said down by the riverThat's where I broke down and criedI said down by the riverThat's where I broke down and criedI said down by the riverHeartaches soaked in wineI'm just lookin' for redemptionFor that wanderin' soul of minePull me to my kneesAs I drown in the pouring rainDown by the river, honeyI still see your faceSometimes around midnightThey'd come knocking at my doorI said sometimes around midnight,Hell hounds found what they're looking forWell those flashing lights told meDidn't have to say a wordSomeone took my babySomeone took away my worldAll they found was a letterI should never have let her goThe river's the only witnessThe only one who knowsAnd the wind whispers her nameAnd all the lonesome yearsWater turns to whiskeyI drown in my own tearsDown by the riverI see my life in flamesDown by the river honeyI call out your nameI call out your nameI call out your name
