Downstream Lyrics

Downstream" by The Rainmakers from _The_Rainmakers_

----------------------------------------------------

Well, me and Mark Twain were having us a ball

Telling each other lies, floating down from Hannibal

With a bottle and a worm and a cane pole

We were fishing for secrets where the catfish crawl

And the Mississippi River's flowing downstream

Meet the Gulf of Mexico somewhere downstream

Meet the Atlantic Ocean somewhere downstream

Gonna meet you in the water somewhere downstream

Well, we picked up Harry Truman floating down from Independence

We said "What about the war?", he said "Good riddance"

We said "What about the Bomb, are you sorry that you did it?"

He said "Pass me that bottle, and mind your own business"

And the Mississippi River's flowing downstream

Meet the Gulf of Mexico somewhere downstream

Meet the Atlantic Ocean somewhere downstream

Gonna meet you in the water somewhere downstream

Well, we're rounding St. Louis and heading for the coast

When we pick up Chuck Berry in a little rowboat

With one oar in the water and one in the air

A lightning rod for a white guitar

And lightning struck once, and lightning struck twice

And I said "If there's a God, He sure ain't nice"

And Chuck said "God is an Indian giver

I don't trust nothing but the Mississippi River"

And the Mississippi River's flowing downstream

Meet the Gulf of Mexico somewhere downstream

Meet the Atlantic Ocean somewhere downstream

Gonna meet you in the water somewhere downstream
