Walking By the River

Walking by the river Watching my tears roll out to the sea Walking by the river Stormy trouble will never drown for me If pain was a sailor I could sail a ocean-liner If pain was a jailer I could shackle that ocean-liner If pain was a tailor I could sew that ocean-liner To a river-boat, to rest on On up to South Carolina 'Stead of walking by the river Watching my tears roll out to the sea Walking by the river Oh, stormy trouble won't ever drown for me See, I must be fool enough To hang out in a hurricane Long enough to wash away My whole family name And fool enough to wait In ten feet of rain If I drown, I got nobody But myself to blame Yeah, blues with whiskey I stay drunk all the time Yeah, if bad news was risky I'd be convicted of every crime If happiness was money I'd never have a lousy dime If I could just raise the price of a ticket I'd head on up the line 'Stead of walking by the river Watching my tears roll out to sea Walking by the river Stormy trouble won't drown for me Still walking by the river Watching my tears roll out to the sea Walking by the river Stormy troubles ain't gonna drown for me Walking by the river Been watching my tears roll out to the sea Walking by the river Stormy trouble ain't gonna drown for me
