Down By The River

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My old man would throw me in the truck Put a couple flower bed worms in a cup Didn't say a lot but I learned so much Down by the river [Verse 2] When I turned ten My hand let off of a pinewood pew To that old rugged cross Wasn't the Jordan but everyone watched Down by the river [Chorus] Sometimes it's high Sometimes it's low Might be a little muddy But ain't it kind of funny It'll wash the dirt off of your soul When it's my time, my time to go I hope the good Lord's got a house for a sinner Down by the river So I can keep watching it roll Watching it roll [Verse 3] We were too young to buy But somеbody had a brother We'd take that casе And a little Marshall Tucker Drank every damn one Of them nights that summer Down by the river [Verse 4] When you're 17 love's in the air And you couldn't go here And you couldn't go there But I knew her daddy'd never catch her Lettin' down her hair Down by the river [Chorus] Sometimes it's high Sometimes it's low Might be a little muddy But ain't it kind of funny It'll wash the dirt off of your soul When it's my time, my time to go I hope the good Lord's got a house for a sinner Down by the river So I can keep watching it roll Watching it roll [Verse 5] There's gonna come a day God's gonna take me It's tough but I hope Somebody can maybe Pull a few strings So I'm pushing up daisies Down by the river [Chorus] Sometimes it's high Sometimes it's low Might be a little muddy But ain't it kind of funny It'll wash the dirt off of your soul When it's my time, my time to go I hope the good Lord's got a house for a sinner Down by the river So I can keep watching it roll Watching it roll Mmm yeah
