River Town

My old man, lives a mile up the road

I see him rambling down main street in his old red truck with nowhere to go

He's travelin' downstream, anytime the skies are clear

Smile painted on his face, hard to remember he's getting on in years

And he says, I got somewhere I can feel the stars

Somewhere I can dream out loud

Yeah I know I'll never stray too far

Bury me here in this river town

Bury me here in this river town

Me I drove south, the second I was old enough

Folks told me Tennessee & some southern accents would fix me right up

One night I broke down, realized it was all pretend

Yeah there's only so long roots can survive without digging back in

Yeah I know, I got somewhere I can feel the stars

Somewhere I can dream out loud

Yeah I know I'll never stray too far

Bury me here in this river town

Bury me here in this river town

She's waiting up in the kitchen when I get home

Says baby it's real, I'm starting to show

And she falls in my arms, dances real slow

And she cries

Don't know how we'll get by

But we'll be alright

She tells me, we got somewhere we can feel the stars

Somewhere we can dream out loud

Yeah I know we'll never stray too far

Bury me here in this river town

I got somewhere I can feel the stars

Somewhere I can dream out loud

Yeah I know I'll never stray too far

Bury me here in this river town

Bury me here in this river town

Bury me here in this river town
