DOWN TO THE RIVER
CHORUS G D
Take me down to the river where I can hold your body close to mine
C D C D
We can listen to the rhythm of that old water rollin
C D G
You can stay with me until the mornin light
I found you in a Louisiana roadside park
Beat up broke down no place left to turn
I took you back to Texas under a harvest moon
We found a little place to call our own
We shared all the hopes and dreams of our younger years
Married at the tender age of twenty one
Rollin down the highways dirt roads and the by ways
You like to drive so I could go shotgun
CHORUS
Somewhere through the years somebody turned your head
Has taken my sweet love so far from me
Yeah he swept you of to boulder where the air gets a little bit colder
Than this southern man would ever like to see
And I think of callin you on my lonely nights
When being alone well it gets the best of me
Yeah but this here whiskey bottle takes me to the place
Where you and I will always be
A
When you get back home everybody said I was a fool
E
Took you back without a word to say
D E D E
But I couldnât go on livin thinkin about all I was missin
D E A
And I donât give a damn about what those people think
CHORUS A A E D A E D
