LIVE - River Town lyrics

rate me

And from a tiny river town you came

With mamma's rock-star dreams in tow, and daddy's brains

But the rats they fought you oh yeah tooth and nail

With the way they rigged this game, you had to fail

But that's all behind you now, boy

And from a tiny river town you came

With nothing up your sleeve but a dirty forearm and an ace

They drug you through that slaughterhouse at will

You were the soldier without a kill

You were the soldier without a kill

Oh, who's gonna save your soul?

Who's gonna make your heart beat again?

And from a tiny river town you came

Across the Rocky Mountains all in search of better days

But paradise took you out and left the bill

You were the healer without the thrill

You were the ecstasy without the pill

Oh, who's gonna save your soul?

Who's gonna make your heart beat again?

Who's gonna light up your dark?

Who's gonna save your soul?

Who's gonna be there?

Who's gonna light up your dark?

And from a tiny river town you came

With mamma's rock-star dreams in tow and daddy's brains

You'd better turn back before the frost sets in

These desert nights are for weathered men

The ones who've already given in

Oh, who's gonna save your soul?

Who's gonna make your heart beat again?

Who's gonna save your soul?

Now that you've given in

Now that you've given in

Now that you've given in
