River o Tears Songtext
von Dan Kelly and The Alpha Males

Uuh destiny, what′s there in store for me?
Is it all it's gonna be a tragedy?

Uuh destiny, what′s there in store for me?
Is it all it's gonna be a tragedy?

Feels like long history
Is right there behind me
It's strolling down to flood on me
Uuh, ye

A river this wide and brown
Could drag a much stronger man down
But I′m not hanging around
I′m just gonna bend my back and
Roll down the River O Tears
To the Gulf of Mexico


Sweet asteroid, open up in front of me
I know I'll be so glad to feel
That open sea
Just ridin′ those waves of misery
They roam to under me
Comin' in in sets of three
Only

A river this wide and brown
Could drag a much stronger man down
But I′m not hanging around
I'm just gonna bend my back and
Roll, though my arms grow heavy
There′s a thousand miles to go
Because a storm blow and a flow did flow
Made a river of tears down which I roam.

To the Gulf of Mexico

A river so wide and brown
Rolls past a thousand sparkling scented towns
But I'm not plannin' on floating around
I′m just gonna bend my back and
Roll down the River O Tears
To the Gulf of Mexico
