Down on the River Again Songtext
von Poco

I gotta get down on the river again
She′s a true life giver, she's my only friend
When I′m hidin' out, I need a way to ride on out
From all that gunfire up on the land
Too much for one man to make a stand


I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man
Runnin′ through the night, runnin′ for my life
Seems it's worth a lot, to a man who′s not forgot who I am
I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man

I been cheated by a dealer, blackhearted man of a soul stealer
Kept me down in the game, until a voice called my name
I was holding my own on the losing end
Here comes the lady, she′s a winning hand

I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man
Ride that dark lady down, roll on easy to another town
She′s got wild and wistful ways, I'll take her any night or day
I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man
