Riverbed Songtext
von Back Door Slam

I can remember the night, oh, so well
The way the moon shone down on the Mississippi river swell
Not a soul out there could have known
Just how thick and fast that fog would come down

In the middle of a silent night
Heard that whistle blow

Was the wrong place at the wrong time
Now the tracks are bent out of line
I said down on the riverbed′s where you'll find those souls
It was the first mate on the foredeck who ran my ship aground
I said down on the riverbed′s where you'll find those souls
Where you'll find those souls

Well, the train had just left the station in New Orleans
′Bout the same time we hit the bridge at 2:15
And I can still hear the twisting metal cry
As a broken track threw the train off the line


In the middle of a silent night
Heard that whistle blow

Was the wrong place at the wrong time
Now the tracks are bent out of line
I said down on the riverbed′s where you'll find those souls
It was the first mate on the foredeck who ran my ship aground
I said down on the riverbed′s where you'll find those souls
Where you′ll find those souls

I know I'll never find any kind of peace of mind
Oh, but you can rest assured
I will always remember the sound of that whistle blow

Oh-ah, was the wrong place at the wrong time
Now the tracks are bent out of line
I said down on the riverbed′s where you'll find those souls
It was the first mate on the foredeck who ran my ship aground
I said down on the riverbed's where you′ll find those souls
Where you′ll find those souls
