DAll night long I've been riding riding I shouldA have been there by now Em But these old county roads Got a lot of deep holes And the rainG keeps pouring down D The bDridge is washed out and the rising rising WAaters of the river rush by Em And I'm up to my fenders in mud And to my witness above I'm really stuDck this time
I've got a goldG heart locket on a silver chain Clinched tight iDn my fist in the pouring rain And the onlyEm road back home again Is all but washed away GI'm going to cross that river tonight No matteDr what it takes Although I might die trying A My trF#mue love will remain Em In a golGd heart locket on a silver chain D A Em G D
