Sweetwater Songtext
von The Matinée

Sweetwater rolling
Take me back to where it is I′m going
I can hear the music calling down the river tonight

My old man, he told me, "Don't give up
Count your blessings when you fill that cup
This dried up town, it′s only in your way"

"You pay your dues, choose your fights
Keep on heading for them ceiling lights
I swear that's where your fortune lies in wait"

Sweetwater rolling
Take me back to where it is I'm going
I can hear the music calling down the river tonight


Now my old man, he taught me, "Stay your ground
The city moves a hundred miles an hour
Don′t forget to keep your head up high"

"There′s nothing wrong with a little pain
The driest desert needs a bit of rain
Now make me proud, stretch those eyes real wide"

Sweetwater rolling
Take me back to where it is I'm going
I can hear the music calling down the river tonight

Sweetwater rolling
Take me back to where it is I′m going
I can hear the music calling down the river tonight
I can hear the music calling down the river tonight
I can hear the music calling down the river tonight
