Gonna Take A Lot Of River (1988)
I ainât gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no highway
I ainât going nowhere feeling the way I do
Because my babyâs long gone and nothings going my way
I gonna let this muddy water just a-wash away my blues
It gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart a-float
Gonna take a lot of river running all the live long day
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away
Well I wish I was a tugboat a-pushing and a-pulling them barges along
Moving on the water with a heart made of iron and steel
There wouldnât be no woman that could ever take my love and then do me wrong
I could work all day with nothing in the world to feel
It gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart a-float
Gonna take a lot of river running all the live long day
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away
Is she in New Orleans is she a Cajun queen
I wonder what sheâs doing now
But if I know her sheâs got rings and furs
Struggling along somehow
It gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart a-float
Gonna take a lot of river running all the live long day
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away
It gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart a-float
Gonna take a lot of river running all the live long day
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away
