Flat River, MO.

Flat River Mo
Flat River Mo

It's been a many a day since I watched her waters flow
If I ain't got the money to pay
I'm gonna walk every step of the way
Cause I gotta go back to Flat River Mo

The clothes on my back have been friends
With the ground too long
And my foolish dream of wealth and fame is gone
Each day the hand of failure wakes me up
At the break of dawn
And tells me to go back home to Flat River Mo

It's been a many a day since I watched her waters flow
If I ain't got the money to pay
I'm gonna walk every step of the way
Cause I gotta go back to Flat River Mo

I wonder if Mary's heart has ventured and grown fond
I wonder if the baby calls her mom
At night when the city lights and the neon signs come on
They don't shine like the moon back home over Flat River Mo

It's been a many a day since I watched her waters flow
If I ain't got the money to pay
I'm gonna walk every step of the way
Cause I gotta go back to Flat River Mo
