River Take Me - Darrell Scott[00:00:00]
Producer:Darrell Scott[00:00:06]
It's been rainy and windy for seven days straight[00:00:12]
I've been going to bed early and getting up late[00:00:19]
I look out my window and it's one shade of gray[00:00:25]
My wife and my kids don't have much to say[00:00:31]
A man out of work only gets in the way[00:00:35]
Oh the river is rising now one inch an hour[00:00:41]
And tonight we'll be lucky if we still have power[00:00:47]
But I've got a flashlight an oil lamp[00:00:53]
And I'm ready to go[00:00:55]
And a fresh set of batteries for my son's radio[00:00:59]
If the dam really breaks least[00:01:03]
We'll know where to go[00:01:05]
River take me river take me[00:01:10]
River take me far from troubled times[00:01:13]
River take me river take me[00:01:17]
River take me far from troubled times[00:01:20]
If I had a boat you know what I'd do[00:01:37]
I'd float me and my family down to Baton Rouge[00:01:42]
I wouldn't work in no factory I'd live off the land[00:01:49]
And live within means of my own two hands[00:01:56]
Dance Saturday nights to a Zydeco band[00:01:59]
Oh the river flows and a young man dreams[00:02:54]
And the river can drown you or it can wash you clean[00:03:00]
It can take you away to some other place[00:03:07]
It can power your cities carry your waste[00:03:13]
And give all that you drink a peculiar taste[00:03:16]
Oh don't look to me I've done my time[00:03:23]
You see I've had too many dreams[00:03:28]
For this one heart of mine[00:03:31]
And I've stood on the bridge with the river below[00:03:35]
Feeling all of the sadness that a proud man could hold[00:03:41]
Oh the river is full but there's no way[00:03:45]
No way no way[00:03:48]
To go[00:03:50]
River take me river take me[00:03:52]
River take me far from troubled times[00:03:55]
River take me river take me[00:03:59]
River take me far from troubled times[00:04:02]
River take me river take me[00:04:06]
River take me far from troubled times[00:04:09]
Ohhhh ohhh[00:04:15]
