River Song

(альбом: Poor Man's Poison - 2009)

I'm leaving town and leaving at eight
Got me my fishing pole and the ice ship on its way
You know vacations don't come around soon enough
So I just called in sick, said: "Screw the pay"
Got me a few brews and a little barbeque now
My fold up chair sitting in the shade
You know I ain't got the time 'cause I've been wasting it all
Out where that river be calling my name

Out where that river's calling my name
I said that river's been a calling my name
I left my troubles back in town a few country miles away
When I heard that river just a calling my name

Now good ol' Alfred got to thinking
About that boss man something fierce
He said: "That boss man he's been slaving me away"
Now when that boss man he told Alfred to pull another devils shift
He said: "You know I don't think I feel so good today"

Now good ol' Alfred he weren't citified now
Never really paid it no mind
But he said: "Them city slickers move way too fast!"
Now you can just go on 'bout your business
Really doing nothing at all
I'd rather be dirty sitting barefoot in the grass

Out where that river's calling my name
I said that river's been a calling my name
I left my troubles back in town a few country miles away
When I heard that river just a calling my name
