Hymn To Me

I was born by the river I left my home at the age of ten I made a promise Ain't never gonna go back home again And if the cops are gonna get me I may be president by then I was saved from drowning When I fell in to the stream of life It was a woman Had no plans to make her my wife And as the change is getting closer The cold wind cuts me like a knife Suppose that you think that I'm a fool I have not come to excuse myself My jugs in pieces And now I've spilled my wine Spent my life in conversation With a man I saw on the edge of town He pointed one way I couldn't stay up so I had to sit down And the irons are in the fire And I ain't never heard that sound
