Hymn To Me

Lyrics

I was born by the river 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 into the stream of life It was my woman Had no plans to make her my wife And as the change is getting closer The cold wind cuts me like a knife Oh and yeah suppose 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 now the irons are in the fire And I ain't never heard that sound
