Down By The River

[Verse 1]

My old man would throw me in the truck

Put a couple flower bed worms in a cup

Didn't say a lot but I learned so much

Down by the river

[Verse 2]

When I turned ten

My hand let off of a pinewood pew

To that old rugged cross

Wasn't the Jordan but everyone watched

Down by the river

[Chorus]

Sometimes it's high

Sometimes it's low

Might be a little muddy

But ain't it kind of funny

It'll wash the dirt off of your soul

When it's my time, my time to go

I hope the good Lord's got a house for a sinner

Down by the river

So I can keep watching it roll

Watching it roll

[Verse 3]

We were too young to buy

But somеbody had a brother

We'd take that casе

And a little Marshall Tucker

Drank every damn one

Of them nights that summer

Down by the river

[Verse 4]

When you're 17 love's in the air

And you couldn't go here

And you couldn't go there

But I knew her daddy'd never catch her

Lettin' down her hair

Down by the river

[Chorus]

Sometimes it's high

Sometimes it's low

Might be a little muddy

But ain't it kind of funny

It'll wash the dirt off of your soul

When it's my time, my time to go

I hope the good Lord's got a house for a sinner

Down by the river

So I can keep watching it roll

Watching it roll

[Verse 5]

There's gonna come a day

God's gonna take me

It's tough but I hope

Somebody can maybe

Pull a few strings

So I'm pushing up daisies

Down by the river

[Chorus]

Sometimes it's high

Sometimes it's low

Might be a little muddy

But ain't it kind of funny

It'll wash the dirt off of your soul

When it's my time, my time to go

I hope the good Lord's got a house for a sinner

Down by the river

So I can keep watching it roll

Watching it roll

Mmm yeah
