Album: Noel Gourdin Uhmm - Alright Growing up - it was tough We were glad for what little we had I saw my Sarah on fair Mississippi Dirt roads and confederate flags Everyday my father would tell me Son run and don't never come back That's where I left my girl That's where my hear is at - and oh I held my breath when they dipped my head Then I came up shiny and new (Laid down my burdens) Found out about love in the back of my Impala Where they laid my grandfather too (Where they laid my granddaddy) Down by the river (Down by the river) Where Black folks gather After Sunday Service is through How the river runs to the ocean I'll be running right back to you (Running back to you) I got along - I'm moving on I bandaged the scars up well I think of her there and I'd sit and I wait For a card or a letter in the mail I walk the beach With the sand in my feet Place my ear up to a shell I wonder if you miss me too 'Cause I've been longing to get to you I'm sick of staring out my window sill I'm tired of hoping she remembers me still I'm packing my bags I said I'm going back home To the place where I belong (The river) And if she's there when I get there I'm never gonna leave her again You see she stole my heart Down by the river I held my breath when they dipped my head Then I came up shiny and new (Hallelujah) Found out about love in the back of my Impala Where they laid my grandfather too (Awll baby) Down by the river Where Black folks gather After Sunday Service is through How the river runs to the ocean (Oh yeah) I'll be running right back to you (Running back to you) So I'm packing up my suitcase Bought me a one-way fare I'm leaving everyting behind me But in my heart I'll always care And I'll still be right there Thank you baby 'Cause nothing can replace That part of my life - and ooh I held my breath when they dipped my head Then I came up shiny and new (I came out a new man) Found out about love in the back of my Impala Where they laid my grandfather too Down by the river (Down by the river) Where Black folks gather After Sunday Service is through How the river runs to the ocean I'll be running right back to you (Running back to you) |
