Ferry Song

Since it's too late to stay here, maybe I can take up a seat
It's gettin' hard to keep walking with those phrases on repeat
Sure as high times in summer roll into heartache in fall
If I get over that river, babe, I'll run blindly through it all

Come on down
Come on down
You might be the only one

It was almost time for bed, and I tried to keep from wonderin'
Something so close, it was too easy to see
The image of that one girl, the one that left me gunned down
Showed herself in to keep me company

And with the motor in my head that won't stop runnin'
The hand in my pocket that won't leave me be
And that storm in my belly, you know, it just keeps on thunderin'
And it won't hush until you drift to me

So come on down
Come on down
You might be the only one
You're my good luck charm
The smoke that never left my lungs
You're the only one

There's a ferry on the river
Taking me from here to you
And there's a fifty in a forty-five, that's all you need to know
Two dollars ain't too bad when you've got nowhere to go
But if I keep on thinkin' how the hell I got here alone
I may never know what could be
And I won't find out until you drift to me
