Knight, Chris - Back Water Blues Lyrics

Where the hell the sun, it just rain for days
All this river rising and cryin', washin' us away
If we let go now, we're let our love drown
An' baby this cold blue river, might never go down

So put up your bags, an' get away from the door
Put up that rusty pistol, babe I ain't mad anymore
If you leave me now, and head for higher ground
Baby this river blue back water, gonna take me down

Baby I can't let you go
I go under if you leave me here alone
Oh this backwater blues will be gone, if we hold on
Baby just let the hard times row
We'll wail outta here when the water's low
These backwater blues will be gone, if we hold on

This river ain't deep, it's just a little cold
So put your arms around me, we find us some stepping stones
Baby hold on tight, 'cause dry land's in sight
We'll be out of this backwater blues, if we hold on

Baby I can't let you go
I go under if you leave me here alone
Oh this backwater blues will be gone, if we hold on
Baby just let the hard times row
We'll wail outta here when the water's low
These backwater blues will be gone, if we hold on
Baby these backwater blues will be gone, if we hold on
