River Gap words and music by Dave Burlingame

It's a 3 more miles 'til I hit the river gap

Slippin down the highway sleepin in the back

Got a hand on the wheel and the other on the phone

30 more days 'til I'm comin back home

Now when I was young my papa said son

Don't waste your life waitin for your time to come

The world out there is big and round

And if you wanna find your destiny you got to shake it down

So I got me a job playin music with a band

Workin town to town and a eatin mouth to hand

Livin on the road and lovin when I can

Well I guess that's the life of a travelin mannn

Chorus

Well we pulled into town with some time to spare

The drummer he's a bummer cause he's gonna broke a snare

Over in the corner there's Anne Marie

Well she's the cutest thing that I ever did see

Now here comes Annie she's a boppin cross the floor

Lookin pretty trippy in the hippy dress she wore

Singin come with me daddy , take off a load

Said I'd like to pretty baby but I gotta hit the road

Chorus

Now there's a girl I know in the next little town

She likes to come and see me whenever I'm around

She loves me hard and she leaves me sore

And she kicks me in the head as she throws me out the door

Well I like sugar and I like spice

But I'm a savin up my lovin for a girl that treats me nice

And I ain't much for settlin down

So if she wants to be my baby then she'll have to tag along

Chorus

Well hey there joe why you movin so slow

Put the pedal to the metal come on let's go

Now wait a minute buddy we gotta make a stop

Cause our gas is gettin low and the motor's runnin hot

Well jump down turn around fill 'er up again

Get another cup of coffee and change for a ten

Gotta keep movin hate to slow down cause ridin down the road is the place that I belong

Chorus

Repeat chorus

(3 more miles till I hit the river gap)

I'm a slippin' down the highway, sleepin in the back

(3 more miles till I hit the river gap)

Gonna keep movin forward never lookin back

(3 more miles till I hit the river gap)

I been thinkin bout the last girl talkin bout the next show

(3 more miles till I hit the river gap)

Well I gotta be trippin cause I wanna keep slippin down the highway

Slippin down the highway, trippin down the highway

30 more days till I'm comin back home
