American River

Hold on mama There's a real chance We can make it to the water by sundown If we keep our speed and we don't get arrested There's a dixieland band playing uptown It's a cool drink of water from the devil's only daughter Sweeter than the sun on a voodoo afternoon I said who do you think put the dixie in the drink A Tennessee woman and a California king I wanna meet you there at the American River Get up on the bandstand and dance with me Where the air is shaking the American River Get up on the bandstand Mama come and dance with me Take a drink of living it's a given you can feel it Float away on the cool deep water Where the dixieland swings you can do anything American River gonna get yourself clean We gonna take it over, hold on we're gettin closer Green mountain grass blowing over your shoulder You know you're never too old to hold a guitar in your hand Never too young for an American band I wanna meet you there at the American River Get up on the bandstand and dance with me Where the air is shaking the American River Get up on the bandstand Mama come and dance with me Come on mama, hold on tight If it's right you wanna keep it keep it goin all night So shake your money maker It's what your mama gave ya Double jack king and a queen of Appalachia Gonna take it over, hold on we're gettin closer Green mountain grass blowing over your shoulder You know you're never too old to hold a guitar in your hand Never too young for an American band I wanna meet you there at the American River Get up on the bandstand and dance with me Where the air is shaking the American River Get up on the bandstand Mama come and dance I wanna meet you there at the American River Get up on the bandstand and dance with me Where the air is shaking the American River Get up on the bandstand Mama come and dance with me Get up on the bandstand mama come and dance Get up on the bandstand mama come and dance Get up on the bandstand Mama come and dance with me
