Great Big River Songtext
von Gabe Lee

I′ve sung sad songs all my life
Honest words turned to lies
But If I were keener, then I'd learn to talk with a smile
Thereby rendering your very heart to melt away
I′ve left women at the door
Wonderin what they loved me for
Cries out the dreamer, hell if I'm doin this anymore
Guess I just grown tired of trying to get you to see
Nothings ever what it used to be


Ohio, river won't you take me home
Lead me where the sunshine goes every night
Fly me there, take me to a place somewhere
I′m hoping I can hide my fears for once in awhile
All I can do is hope and pray I′ll be a better man someday
Great Big River, wash these blues away

So try to hold on all you can
Sleepin pills and wedding bands
Whatever should come along whatever shit should hit the fan
Least you'll get a better look at all the fun that you had
Cause I′ve known sinners to believe in countin cards and time machines
So if you're an angel would you shine your little light over me
I′ll be wearing all the clothes that I got
Washing dishes in the belly of a restaurant
Singin


Ohio, river won't you take me home
Lead me where the sunshine goes every night
Fly me there, take me to a place somewhere
I′m hoping I can hide my fears for once in awhile
All I can do is hope and pray I'll be a better man someday
Great Big River, wash these blues away
