Bury Me in the River
You wrapped my heart around a telephone pole and I listened
Don't you run away, you said, don't run away, you whispered
All the nights I looked at you, forgot what I was thinking
And the pouring down rain, damn it's raining, damn it's raining, damn it's raining
Bury me in the river
Wash me away in the stream
I'm going back home to Ohio
Cause she's my queen
Yeah, she's my queen
Oh, she's my queen
Did you like us when I had to hold our dreams between my fingers?
I have fears from yesterday still weighing down, weighing down my pockets
I'm calling out to the trees, won't you please let me stand for a minute?
And the leaves rustle with quiet words of wisdom
Bury me in the river
Wash me away in the stream
I'm going back home to Ohio
Cause she's my queen
Yeah, she's my queen
Oh, she's my queen
Yeah, she's my queen
I can't think of a reason
Why I'm beating myself down and down again
I guess I'm reeling
Bury me in the river
Wash me away in the stream
I'm going back home to Ohio
Cause she's my queen
Yeah, she's my queen
She's my queen
She's my queen
Don't you run away, you said, don't run away, you whispered
All the nights I looked at you, forgot what I was thinking
And the pouring down rain, damn it's raining, damn it's raining, damn it's raining
Bury me in the river
Wash me away in the stream
I'm going back home to Ohio
Cause she's my queen
Yeah, she's my queen
Oh, she's my queen
Did you like us when I had to hold our dreams between my fingers?
I have fears from yesterday still weighing down, weighing down my pockets
I'm calling out to the trees, won't you please let me stand for a minute?
And the leaves rustle with quiet words of wisdom
Bury me in the river
Wash me away in the stream
I'm going back home to Ohio
Cause she's my queen
Yeah, she's my queen
Oh, she's my queen
Yeah, she's my queen
I can't think of a reason
Why I'm beating myself down and down again
I guess I'm reeling
Bury me in the river
Wash me away in the stream
I'm going back home to Ohio
Cause she's my queen
Yeah, she's my queen
She's my queen
She's my queen
