Ohio River

Over on Lynn Street

A billboard of Jesus on the county line

We didn't think about our failures

Didn't worry if what we did was what was right

We liked trying on new moods

Drink until we told the truth

You thought you gave yourself away then

But everybody knew that they stole from you

For a minute we were able to forget it

And we just looked down

We watched the waves in the Ohio river (The river, the river)

At least I know it now

I know just what I would do

I don't know who I was then

It's like I was someone I never knew

Over on Lynn Street

In the shotgun's view

Everything I knew is gone now

But somehow, nothing feels brand new

For a minute, we were able to forget it

And we just looked down

We watched the waves in the Ohio river

The river, the river, the river, the river

The river, the river, the river, the river

The river, the river, the river, the river

The river, the river, the river
