The River - Extended Version

Restless legs and bloodshot eyes
Creaky floors and telling lies
Can't remember my name sometimes
'Til I hear it from a friend
Been awhile since I've seen her face
Been awhile since I left my place
Still remember when I fell from grace
'Though the bruise has gone away

Take me down to the river
Wash me clean to the radio sound
I'll be light as a feather
'Til the river takes me down

Rusted bumpers and faded lines
Waking early, working late sometimes
Safe to say I'm not the worthless kind
Just tryin' to make my way
Dirty and I've always been this way
But imperfection is the price we pay
For glory and the chance to celebrate
All the love we have to share!

Take me down to the river
Wash me clean to the radio sound
I'll be light as a feather
'Til the river takes me down
Take me down to the river
Wash me clean to the radio sound
I'll be light as a feather
'Til the river takes me down

And the water's cold but it's running wild and free
In faultless time, in perfect harmony

Take me down to the river
Wash me clean to the radio sound
I'll be light as a feather
'Til the river takes me down
Take me down to the river
Wash me clean to the radio sound
I'll be light as a feather
'Til the river takes me down
