The River - Joe Bonamassa
Down by the river
That's where I broke down and cried
Down by the river
Where I good just lay down and died
Going down to the river
For long as I can stand
Mama told me son
As she took a hold of my hand
Water runs so deep
Deep as all my pain
Down by the river honey
Lord can I be saved
I said down by the river
That's where I broke down and cried
I said down by the river
That's where I broke down and cried
I said down by the river
Heartaches soaked in wine
I'm just lookin' for redemption
For that wanderin' soul of mine
Pull me to my knees
As I drown in the pouring rain
Down by the river honey
I still see your face
I feel sometimes around midnight
They'd come knocking at my door
I said sometimes around midnight
Hell hounds found what they're looking for
Well those flashing lights told me
Didn't have to say a word
Someone took my baby
Someone took away my world
All they found was a letter
I should never have let her go
The river's the only witness
The only one who knows
Yeah
And the wind whispers her name
And all the lonesome years
Water turns to whiskey
I drown in my own tears
Down by the river
I see my life in flames
Down by the river honey
I call out your name
Yeah
I call out your name
I call out your name
Yeah
Yeah
