River Road

(album: Enough Rope - 2006)

Well there's a cinder block juke joint down by the river side
It's where I carry my cash from the working week
They got a waitress that'll turn your head
Bring you catfish and cornbread
Beer busting out of the keg like its springing a leak

The band in the corner don't do nothing but rock 'n' roll
They ain't learned one new song since bad to the bone
But the women get up on their feet
To anything with a good back beat
And if you dance with them long enough
You might take her home

So drive till you can't drive no more
Till the road runs out and green water rolls
Think you've gone as far as you can go
Well the party's just getting started on river road

Well there use to be a ferry to carry you on across
But you can still see the lights of the city from the parking lot
Anyway nobody seemed to care what they got going on over there
Cause us people on the river we're happy with what we got

So drive till you can't drive no more
Till the road runs out and green water rolls
Think you've gone as far as you can go
Well the party's just getting started on river road

So drive till you can't drive no more
Till the road runs out and green water rolls
Think you've gone as far as you can go
Well the party's just getting started on river road

Yeah the party's just getting started on river road
