Common Rider - Walk Down The River lyrics

rate me

Walk down the river don't stop now keep on walking

Walk down the river 'till you make it to the bright blue sea

This is what she said to me whispered in my ear

A man by the river is a man without fear

One step forward, two steps back keep stepping

Put your foot forward 'cause you're on the right track

Chorus

Walked two days and the ground got hot

by the first turn I could hear gunshots

staggered in the weeds like a fool in the bush

choked in the dirt and a voice said "push"

Lost my way five times in the rain

went three miles for the inches that I gained

kids threw rocks and the cars slowed down

people yelled from the window "fool turn around!"

Chorus

Buildings leaning over trying to break my back

Sky wants to simmer and the Earth wants to crack

let me tell you something, I can hear the sea calling

so I just move it out like a baby crawling

Chorus
