This Side of the River
On this side of the river
The forest is clear
Trees disappear
The bank is half green grass and muddy
If you wanna get your feet wet
You gotta watch your step
The current is swift and ever-changing
Swimming can be cold
So bring a long cane pole
Even the catfish say the chicken liver
Is a better bite
On this side of the river
But I've never seen
This overflowing stream
From the other side
Over there it could be nice
I thought about it twice
The first time was on a stormy Monday
By Tuesday, the blues flooded through my mind
I knew where I'd reside
On this side of the river
It's warm and cozy
Neighbors ain't nosy
It's where I grew up
And the rest of my family
I can't help it if
I know no better than this
Besides I like it here
So I guess God damn me
Where the risk is low, the water is high
On this side of the river
But I've never seen
This overflowing stream
From the other side
Over there it could be nice
I thought about it twice
The first time was on a stormy Monday
By Tuesday, the blues flooded through my mind
I knew where I'd reside
But I've never seen
This overflowing stream
From the other side
Over there it could be nice
I thought about it twice
The first time was on a stormy Monday
By Tuesday, the blues flooded through my mind
I knew where I'd reside
On this side of the river
The forest is clear
Trees disappear
Even the catfish say the chicken liver
Is a bloodier bite
On this side of the river
The forest is clear
Trees disappear
The bank is half green grass and muddy
If you wanna get your feet wet
You gotta watch your step
The current is swift and ever-changing
Swimming can be cold
So bring a long cane pole
Even the catfish say the chicken liver
Is a better bite
On this side of the river
But I've never seen
This overflowing stream
From the other side
Over there it could be nice
I thought about it twice
The first time was on a stormy Monday
By Tuesday, the blues flooded through my mind
I knew where I'd reside
On this side of the river
It's warm and cozy
Neighbors ain't nosy
It's where I grew up
And the rest of my family
I can't help it if
I know no better than this
Besides I like it here
So I guess God damn me
Where the risk is low, the water is high
On this side of the river
But I've never seen
This overflowing stream
From the other side
Over there it could be nice
I thought about it twice
The first time was on a stormy Monday
By Tuesday, the blues flooded through my mind
I knew where I'd reside
But I've never seen
This overflowing stream
From the other side
Over there it could be nice
I thought about it twice
The first time was on a stormy Monday
By Tuesday, the blues flooded through my mind
I knew where I'd reside
On this side of the river
The forest is clear
Trees disappear
Even the catfish say the chicken liver
Is a bloodier bite
On this side of the river
