River Wider

[Verse 1]

The dog days of August

And a feeling of being awake

Oh my God, my whole damn world's

Hotel walls and mind decay

How come I never got used to

The feeling of sleeping in a cage?

Too long driving, too damn hungry

A tied-up hound but nothing stays

[Chorus]

Never swam a river wider, wider

Couldn't climb a building taller

Never seen a morning rising brighter

Never tasted sweeter cellar cider

Couldn't hold a hammer stronger

Never had a need for shining china

[Verse 2]

I sit right where I used to

My desk chair in a corner in a haze

Oh my God, my whole damn world's

A smoked out pine in a sonic blaze

I still have direction

But I'm digging in my thoughts all day

I see the devil like I used to

I hear my rhythm out of phase

[Chorus]

Never swam a river wider, wider

Couldn't climb a building taller

Never seen a morning rising brighter

Never tasted sweeter cellar cider

Couldn't hold a hammer stronger

Never had a need for shining china

Never swam a river wider, wider

Couldn't climb a building taller

Never seen a morning rising brighter

Never tasted sweeter cellar cider

Couldn't hold a hammer stronger

Never had a need for shining china
