River
written by M Yonts & David Allan Coe
performed by David Allan Coe
from the album The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy
DRiver, you heard A7my first cry as a Dbaby
GAnd, like my Mom, you Asang me lullaDbies
GYou knew my fishing Apole
When DI was eight yGears old
And, Driver, you A7never told me Dlies
(chorus) ARiver, I can Gsee you from my Dwindow
GYour muddy water Amakes me feel Dalone
GRiver, you keep Aflowing
Like you Dknow just where you're Ggoing
But, Driver, will you A7ever take me Dhome
River, I'm not proud of what I've done
Somehow my fishing pole became a gun
Through these prison bars I see
That you're still running free
But, river, I've got no place to run
(repeat chorus 2x)
