Crooked River

I wandered all the way to crooked river With you burning a hole in my mind Well, I came down here to try to get better But it just keeps getting harder all the time And when I finally get myself together Well, I know, yes I know, it'll be sublime But until then I'll make my home down by crooked river And I'll sleep beneath the shade of the pines Wash my hands, wash my sins Let me shiver in your ruthless wind Take me down, take me in Oh, you crooked river Well, ol' loneliness, she's haunted me forever But I've learned to look her straight in the eye And when she sneaks up on me down by crooked river Well, she hardly ever even makes me cry Wash my hands, wash my sins Let me shiver in your ruthless wind Take me down, take me in Oh, you crooked river
