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 goingDavid Allan Coe - River - http://motolyrics.com/david-allan-coe/river-lyrics.html

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
