lyrics

RIVER CITY
(Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music, BMI)

I'm goin' down to the river city
Lord, I got a restless mind
Drinks are cheap and the girls are pretty
Gonna see what I can find
I was born in the river city
But I left when I was grown
Hit the road but I never really
Found a place that felt like home

I'm gonna lay my money down
I'm gonna lay my money down

Out there on the water
On the Ohio
Thinkin' 'bout my father
Wishin' I could still go home

I'm goin' down to the river city
Gonna catch the southbound train
Walk the streets that I used to wander
See if anything's the same
There's a girl in the river city
Layin' easy on my mind
A sunny smile every time I see her
Lord, it makes me feel so fine

I'm gonna lay that woman down
I'm gonna lay that woman down

Meet me by the water
Where we used to go
Mother Nature's daughter
You don't have to be alone

I'm goin' down to the river city
