Testo River Take Me - Montgomery Gentry
Testo della canzone River Take Me (Montgomery Gentry), tratta dall'album Outskirts (Deluxe)
It's been rainy and windy for seven days straight
I've been going to bed early, getting up late
I look out my window and it's one shade of gray
Oh, my wife and my kids don't have much to say
A man out of work only gets in the way
Oh, the river is rising now, one inch an hour
Tonight we'll be lucky if we still have power
But I've got a flashlight, an oil lamp, and I'm ready to go
And a fresh set of batteries for my son's radio
If the dam really breaks, at least we know where to go
River take me, river take me
River take me far from troubled times
River take me, river take me
River take me far from troubled times
Woah, woah, woah
If I had a boat, you know what I'd do?
I'd float me and my family down to Baton Rouge
I wouldn't work in no factory, I'd live off the land
And live within means of my own two hands
Dance Saturday nights to a Zydeco band
Oh, the river flows and a young man dreams
And the river can drown you or it can wash you clean
It can take you away to some other place
It can power your city or carry your waste
Give all you drink a peculiar taste
Oh, don't look to me, boy, I've done my time
You see, I've had too many dreams for this one heart of mine
Oh, I've stood on the brink with the river below
Feeling all the sadness that a proud man can hold
Oh, the river is full but there's no way
No way, no way to go
River take me, river take me
River take me far from troubled times
River take me, river take me
River take me far from troubled times
River take me, river take me
River take me far from troubled times
Woah, woah, woah
