Trinity River

Trinity River, such a dirty little river
But that don't bother me
Dirty little river sure to get me clean
Trinity River and it flow because I cry
Sure to keep me honest with everybody tellin' lies

Damp scent of evening hung everywhere
And gamblers turn they cards drinkin' on that whiskey hard
The damp scent of evening flows all through my head
I had the sweetest dream
I was floatin' in the river dead

Trinity River, such a dirty little river
But that don't bother me
Dirty little river sure to get me clean
Trinity River and it flow because I cry
Sure to keep you honest, even though you're tellin' lies

In this river city, nothin' ever lasts
Beside the lonesome blues
Steady starin' back at you
In this river city, of one thing you can be sure
No matter what you got to give, believe me you gonna give some more

Trinity River, such a dirty little river
But that don't bother me
Dirty little river sure to wash me clean
Trinity River and it flow because I cry
Sure to keep me honest 'cause everybody tellin' lies

Trinity River, muddy water risin' up
Trinity River, could never drown me fast enough
Trinity River and it flow because I cry
Sure to keep you honest even though you're sellin' lies
