down to the river Lyrics

Pat Green
dancehall dreamer
down to the river
take me down to the river
where i can hold your body close to mine
we can listen to the rthym,
of that old water rollin',
you can stay with me until the mornin light.


well, i found you on a louisiana roadside park,
beat up, broke down, no place left to turn.
well, i took you back to texas,
under a harvest moon.
we found a little place to call out own.

we shared all the hopes and dreams of our younger years,
married at the tender age od twenty-one,
rollin' down the highways,
dirtroads and the by-ways,
you liked to drive so i could go shotgun


and we'd go down to the river,
where i would hold your body close to mine,
we'd listen to the rhythm,
of that old water rollin',
you'd stay with me until the mornin' light.


well, somewhere throught the years,
somebody turned your head,
[ Pat Green Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
and took my love so far away from me,
yeah, he hauled you off to boulder,
where the air gets much colder,
than this southern boy would ever like to see.

and i think of callin' you on the lonely nights,
when being alone gets the best of me,
but this here whiskey bottle,
will take me to a place,
where you and i will always be.


wanna go down to the river,
where i could hold your body close to mine,
and we'd listen to the rhythm,
of that old water rollin',
and you'd stay with me until the mornin' light.


and when you came back everybody said i was a fool,
'cause i took you back without two words to say,
yeah, but i couldn't go on livin',
thinkin' about all i was missin',
and i don't give a damn 'bout what those people say.

wanna go down to the river...

lets go down to the river...

gonna go down to the river...
