River Guard

[Verse 1]

When I take the prisoners swimming

They have the time of their lives

I love to watch them floating

On their backs

Unburden and relaxed

[Verse 2]

I sit in the tall grass and look the other way

And when I haul them in they always say

"Our sentences will not be served"

[Refrain]

We are constantly on trial

It's a way to be free

We are constantly on trial

It's a way to be free

[Verse 3]

Most nights I go for a drive

To to the highest place I can find

Stand there on a cliff with goose flesh

Watching the wind rip the leaves of the trees

Death defying

Every breath

Death defying

[Verse 4]

Soon we all be back in the yard

Behind the wall

Living hard

Dreaming of cool rivers and tall grass

[Refrain]

We are constantly on trial

It's a way to be free

We are constantly on trial

It's a way to be free
