All the Way To the River

Up late with the hollowed out eyes All the way to the river Trying every last trouble on for size All the way to the river Who knows what she's gonna do? All the way to the river Not up to me, not up to you All the way to the river Fumbling for the keys to her car All the way to the river Empty bottles only go so far All the way to the river Straight down Broadway, 3 a.m. All the way to the river She's gone way past calling a friend All the way to the river All the way to the river Down on the bottom where the catfish moan All the way to the river Dirty Nashville, that's her home Mama, don't you worry 'bout me, hmm Scribbled down with a fleur-de-lis, hmm But how she gonna get through this night, hmm How she ever gonna be alright, hmm All the way to the river Down on the bottom where the catfish moan All the way to the river Dirty Nashville that's her home It takes cowardice and courage too All the way to the river To leave this town before you're through All the way to the river All the way to the river Down on the bottom where the catfish moan All the way to the river Dirty Nashville, that's her home All the way to the river Down on the bottom where the catfish moan All the way to the river Dirty Nashville, that's her home All the way to the river That's her home All the way to the river That's her home All the way to the river That's her home
