DOWN BY THE RIVER

I went down by the river just to free my soul

Granny always told me that it's good as gold

Take me to a place where there's oak tree shade

Always knew that it would be this way, now I can fly

My wings take me miles, I don't cry

I just swallow my pride, and now

Time's never bringing me down

'Cause I always know what'll come next

I went down by the river just to free my soul

Granny always told me that it's good as gold

Take me to a place where there's oak tree shade

Always knew that it would be this way, now I can fly

My wings take me miles, I don't cry

I just swallow my pride, and now

Times never bringin' me down

'Cause I always know what'll come next

Oh, I'll always know what'll come next

Went to the top of the mountain, where the angels soar

Devil kept talking couldn't take no more

Take me to a place where my best friend stays

Always knew that it would be this way, now I can fly

My wings take me miles, I don't cry

I just swallow my pride

And now, time's never bringing me down

'Cause I always know what'll come next

Oh, I'll always know what'll come next

Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-ooh, ooh, said I'll always know

You won't figure out until you're gone home

Until you're gone home

Said I'll always know

You won't figure out until you're gone home

I went down by the river just to free my soul

Granny always told me that it's good as gold

Take me to a place where there's oak tree shade

Always knew that it would be this way, now I can fly

My wings take me miles, I don't cry

I just swallow my pride, and now

Times never bringin' me down

'Cause I always know what'll come next

Oh, I'll always know what'll come next
