January's River

January's River with your wandering spine
January's River come together meet my mind
January's River won't you please be kind
We're on our way to the town of General Mines

We took off heading south of south
Braved the currents of America's warm salty mouth
The dark turned to light
And the blues they got green
A country before us laid bare but obscene

January's River with your wandering spine
January's River come together meet my mind
January's River won't you please be kind
On our way to the town of General Mines

The people before us they walked bare and bowed
Seems like they knew something we oughta know
For god or glory but someone, someone else's gain
What we got on us won't be cleansed by the rains

January's River with your wandering spine
January's River come together meet my mind
January's River won't you please be kind
We're on our way to the town of General Mines

Don't think I'll make it out body, soul or mind
I punched my ticket now I'm here, pay my fine
I was nothing to them, they meant everything to me
I'm just a line in this new land's biography

January's River with your wandering spine
January's River come together meet my mind
January's River won't you please be kind
On our way to the town of General Mines

January's River won't you please, please be kind
I've got no one at home don't want to be lost to the times
