Just Across the River

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Just across the river, a good life waits on the other side Can't float here forever, you know it's too deep and wide Just across the river, people are smiling so carefree I've been told I can redeem my soul, new world waiting for me [Bridge] All my life I've been shortchanged Nobody wants to hear a poor boy complain Work like a slave to stay out of the rain Then they closed the factory down Yeah, they closed the factory down [Verse 2] But just across the river, you don't need a job, time is free Work if you wanna, the sun is warm and the air is sweet Just across the rivеr, clouds are calling out your name All you need is the blood you bleed, don't need no fortunе or fame [Bridge] Can't you see it getting closer day by day Golden rainbow was headed your way No more wandering, you're there to stay You can lay your burdens down You can lay your burdens down [Verse 3] Just across the river, they're building a warm fire every night Just across the river, the wind is calm and the moon is bright Sweet, sweet music ringing through the valley shaking the trees My clothes are packed and I ain't coming back, don't come looking for me [Bridge] Ain't nobody singing no sad songs Tired of walking, you can rest your bones Your spirit is never again to roam They're calling you home Yeah, they're calling you home [Instrumental Verse: Electric Piano Solo] [Bridge] Ain't nobody singing no sad songs Tired of walking you can rest your bones Your spirit is never again to roam They're calling you home They're calling you home [Outro] Just across the river Just across the Oh, oh
