Gonna Take A Lot Of River

(álbum: It's Only Natural - 2011)

I ain't gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no highway
I aint' going nowhere feeling the way I do
Because my baby's long gone and nothings going my way
I'm gonna let this muddy water just wash away my blues

It's gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi
The Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away

Well, I wish I was a tug boat pushing and pulling them barges along
Moving on the water with a heart made of iron and steel
There wouldn't be no women that could ever take my loving and do me wrong
I could work all day with nothing in the world to feel

It's gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi
The Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away

Is she in New Orleans
Is she a Cajun Queen
I wonder what she's doing now
But if I know her
She's got rings and furs
Struggling along somehow

It's gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi
The Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away

It's gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi
The Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away
