The River (Album Version) - Noel Gourdin[00:00:00]
Growin' up it was tough[00:00:20]
We were glad for what little we had[00:00:22]
I saw my share of old fair Mississippi[00:00:25]
Dirt roads and Confederate flags[00:00:29]
Everyday my father would tell me[00:00:31]
"Son run and don't never come back"[00:00:34]
That's where I left my girl[00:00:38]
That's where my heart is at and ohh [00:00:40]
I held my breath when they dipped my head[00:00:44]
Then I came up shiny and new[00:00:47]
Found out about love in the back of my Impala[00:00:49]
Where they laid my grandfather too[00:00:53]
Down by the river[00:00:56]
Where black folks gather[00:00:57]
After Sunday service is through[00:00:59]
How the river runs to the ocean[00:01:01]
I'll be runnin' right back to you[00:01:05]
I got along I'm movin' on[00:01:08]
I bandaged the scars up well[00:01:11]
I think of her then I seem to wait[00:01:14]
For a card or a letter in the mail[00:01:17]
I walk the beach with the sand in my feet[00:01:21]
Place my ear to a shell[00:01:23]
I wonder if you miss me too[00:01:26]
Cuz I been longin' to get to you[00:01:29]
I'm sick of starin' out my window sill[00:01:32]
I'm tired of hopin' she remembers me still[00:01:36]
I'm packin' my bags I said I'm goin' back home[00:01:39]
To the place where I belong[00:01:43]
The river[00:01:45]
And if she's there when I get there[00:01:46]
I'm never gonna leave her again[00:01:48]
You see she stole my heart[00:01:51]
Down by the river[00:01:54]
So I'm packin' up my suitcase[00:02:22]
Bought me a one-way fare[00:02:25]
I'm leavin' everything behind me[00:02:28]
But in my heart I always care[00:02:31]
And I'll still be right there[00:02:33]
Thank you baby[00:02:39]
Cuz nothin' can replace that part in my life and whoa[00:02:40]
I held my breath when they dipped my head[00:02:45]
Then I came up shiny and new[00:02:48]
Found out about love in the back of my Impala[00:02:51]
Where they laid my grandfather too[00:02:54]
Down by the river[00:02:57]
Where black folks gather[00:02:59]
After Sunday service is through[00:03:02]
How the river runs to the ocean[00:03:03]
I'll be runnin' right back to you[00:03:06]
