American River

Hold on mama
There's a real chance
We can make it to the water by sundown
If we keep our speed and we don't get arrested
There's a dixieland band playing uptown
It's a cool drink of water from the devil's only daughter
Sweeter than the sun on a voodoo afternoon
I said who do you think put the dixie in the drink
A Tennessee woman and a California king

I wanna meet you there at the American River
Get up on the bandstand and dance with me
Where the air is shaking the American River
Get up on the bandstand
Mama come and dance with me

Take a drink of living it's a given you can feel it
Float away on the cool deep water
Where the dixieland swings you can do anything
American River gonna get yourself clean
We gonna take it over, hold on we're gettin closer
Green mountain grass blowing over your shoulder
You know you're never too old to hold a guitar in your hand
Never too young for an American band

I wanna meet you there at the American River
Get up on the bandstand and dance with me
Where the air is shaking the American River
Get up on the bandstand
Mama come and dance with me

Come on mama, hold on tight
If it's right you wanna keep it keep it goin all night
So shake your money maker
It's what your mama gave ya
Double jack king and a queen of Appalachia
Gonna take it over, hold on we're gettin closer
Green mountain grass blowing over your shoulder
You know you're never too old to hold a guitar in your hand
Never too young for an American band

I wanna meet you there at the American River
Get up on the bandstand and dance with me
Where the air is shaking the American River
Get up on the bandstand
Mama come and dance
I wanna meet you there at the American River
Get up on the bandstand and dance with me
Where the air is shaking the American River
Get up on the bandstand
Mama come and dance with me

Get up on the bandstand mama come and dance
Get up on the bandstand mama come and dance
Get up on the bandstand
Mama come and dance with me
