D#A#7D#
River, you heard my first cry as a baby
G#A#D#
And, like my Mom, you sang me lullabies
G#A#
You knew my fishing pole
D#G#
When I was eight years old
D#A#7D#
And, river, you never told me lies
Chorus:
A#G#D#
River, I can see you from my window
G#A#D#
Your muddy water makes me feel alone
G#A#
River, you keep flowing
D#G#
Like you know just where youʼre going
D#A#7D#
But, river, will you ever take me home
River, Iʼm not proud of what Iʼve done
Somehow my fishing pole became a gun
Through these prison bars I see
That youʼre still running free
But, river, Iʼve got no place to run
Chorus.
