David Allan Coe - River Lyrics






River, you heard my first cry as a baby
And, like my Mom, you sang me lullabies
You knew my fishing pole
When I was eight years old
And, river, you never told me lies

River, I can see you from my window
Your muddy water makes me feel alone
River, you keep flowing
Like you know just where you're going
But, River, will you ever take me home

River, I'm not proud of what I've done
Somehow my fishing pole became a gun
Through these prison bars I see
That you're still running free
But, river, I've got no place to run

    River you heard my first cry as a baby
    And like my mom you sang me lullabies
    You knew my fishing pole
    When I was eight years old
    And river you never told me lies
    River I can see you from my window
    Your muddy water makes me feel alone
    River you keep flowing
    Like you know just where you're going
    But river will you ever take me home
    River I'm not proud of what I've done
    Somehow my fishing pole became a gun
    Through these prison bars I see
    That you're still running free
    But river I've got no place to run
    River I can see you from my window
    Your muddy water makes me feel alone
    River you keep flowing
    Like you know just where you're going
    But river will you ever take me home
    River I can see you
