lyrics

There’s this lonesome sort of feeling, it seems to follow me everywhere I go

There’s this lonesome tone in every key babe, of every song that I call my own

Just take me to the river baby, and let me float there all alone



I’m writing these songs from the banks of the river, where time just seems to stop

I’m writing these songs from the banks of the river, this lonesome aching never seems to stop

I live my life like that there river, I’m always flowing ya I never stop

And I’m flow on



From muddy to clean waters baby, yeah you know I’m clean

From the muddiest of cleanest of waters baby, yeah you know I’m clean

Because I can filter all through that I gather up, yeah I meander until I’m clean



Just like Keb’ Mo’ I gots ta holla, got them Perpetual Blues

And just like Doc Watson pretty momma, I got them Deep River Blues

Maybe blind to how wide the river is, but only a fool thinks he knows just how deep

That’s deep
