Gone Down the River

And I am almost twenty-five It's the strange things I've seen that keep my alive I've seen a beautiful woman with a tattooed face Cry herself to sleep for things she couldn't erase Seen a love note written in the hard concrete By a love sick boy who resembled me Oh where's my baby she is something sweet Seen 9 men living up in a tree I sent them food while the cops chased me Seen a teenage boy with an old age beard Move deep into the woods to escape a fear What it was was never too clear His parents put it there And I've loved all of my days I've spent them in the most peculiar place Spent a week atop a mountain slept through stormy nights Spent a week below a bridge slept through stormy nights Lived with ten boys circling in total peace Lived with one girl we only spoke through our teeth Where's my baby she is something sweet I caught six rides going from the east to the west Only to find I need the east to rest at night Lived in a basement of a house full to the top Of relics one woman had never forgot She let me touch them is they returned to their spot Oh she was good to me She's good to me She's good to me She's something sweet And I know myself Well I found me in a book about a boy on a quest He went down to the water and he saw himself He bent down to the river and he kissed himself He went down to the water and he saw himself He bent down to the river and he kissed himself Where's my baby she is something sweet I went down to the water and I saw myself I bent down to the river and I kissed myself I said where's my baby she is something sweet Where's my baby she is something sweet I went down to the water and I saw myself I bent down to the river and I kissed myself I said where's my baby she is something sweet Where's my baby she is something sweet I went down to the water and I saw myself I bent down to the river and I kissed myself I said where's my baby she is something sweet Where's that little old love of my life I went down to the water and I saw myself I bent down to the river and I kissed myself I said where's my baby she is something sweet She's sweet to me
