Ain’t Got No Sole Songtext
von David Thomas Broughton

I went down to the swollen river, I had no fear of drowning,
I peeped over the bridges barrier, into swirling chocolate brown,
I slip down the banks so slimy, look how it does eddy,
I grabbed the nearest branch right by me for myself to steady,
Held my head in my two hands, I felt I was now ready,
Had a little clarity pang I lost all my sense of dread, I have no reason to return.
Submerged in water up to my waist now my mind revolves in my head,
Lost my balance my ankle I did twist, my fingers frozen red.
I felt like one of those mental bastards, I lost my shoe.
How I′ve fooled all my associates, how I loved that shoe,
But it has no reason to return.
