《The River(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The River (Album Version) - Noel Gourdin

[00:00:20] Growin＇ up it was tough

[00:00:22] We were glad for what little we had

[00:00:25] I saw my share of old fair Mississippi

[00:00:29] Dirt roads and Confederate flags

[00:00:31] Everyday my father would tell me

[00:00:34] ＂Son run and don＇t never come back＂

[00:00:38] That＇s where I left my girl

[00:00:40] That＇s where my heart is at and ohh

[00:00:44] I held my breath when they dipped my head

[00:00:47] Then I came up shiny and new

[00:00:49] Found out about love in the back of my Impala

[00:00:53] Where they laid my grandfather too

[00:00:56] Down by the river

[00:00:57] Where black folks gather

[00:00:59] After Sunday service is through

[00:01:01] How the river runs to the ocean

[00:01:05] I＇ll be runnin＇ right back to you

[00:01:08] I got along I＇m movin＇ on

[00:01:11] I bandaged the scars up well

[00:01:14] I think of her then I seem to wait

[00:01:17] For a card or a letter in the mail

[00:01:21] I walk the beach with the sand in my feet

[00:01:23] Place my ear to a shell

[00:01:26] I wonder if you miss me too

[00:01:29] Cuz I been longin＇ to get to you

[00:01:32] I＇m sick of starin＇ out my window sill

[00:01:36] I＇m tired of hopin＇ she remembers me still

[00:01:39] I＇m packin＇ my bags I said I＇m goin＇ back home

[00:01:43] To the place where I belong

[00:01:45] The river

[00:01:46] And if she＇s there when I get there

[00:01:48] I＇m never gonna leave her again

[00:01:51] You see she stole my heart

[00:01:54] Down by the river

[00:02:22] So I＇m packin＇ up my suitcase

[00:02:25] Bought me a one-way fare

[00:02:28] I＇m leavin＇ everything behind me

[00:02:31] But in my heart I always care

[00:02:33] And I＇ll still be right there

[00:02:39] Thank you baby

[00:02:40] Cuz nothin＇ can replace that part in my life and whoa

[00:02:45] I held my breath when they dipped my head

[00:02:48] Then I came up shiny and new

[00:02:51] Found out about love in the back of my Impala

[00:02:54] Where they laid my grandfather too

[00:02:57] Down by the river

[00:02:59] Where black folks gather

[00:03:02] After Sunday service is through

[00:03:03] How the river runs to the ocean

[00:03:06] I'll be runnin' right back to you
