Where the River Goes
I heard the word from Brenda Lee
You were comin' home, she said
Crossed my heart, I could not believe that.
Holy Hell, you could'a struck me dead, but
Three cheers for the grapevine, what
Told me you were comin' home.
Let's see where the night takes us.
Let's see where the night goes.
I admit, it's been slow going
You're payin' bills and still they on ya
Know the way with best-laid plans tell
This is me, and it's who I am. I'm
Makin' rounds and I pay my dues
Meet up with friends and I dream 'bout you
It isn't much, but it's still a lot
sometimes honey, I still get lost, and those
Long nights, old cars
Backroads and boneyards, you
Drop the pedal like a holy roller
Sheriff and Hell couldn't pull you over
Tough girl from a bad town
Brought up, never stayed down
Sweet tea, white lightnin'
Breakin' hearts, not mine
Come on in, it's so good to see ya
It's been so long, I know, I know, I
Let's see where the night takes us.
Let's see where the night goes.
Last I saw you, it was a Greyhound wave
You said "Don't be sad, and don't be blue"
L.A. is not the destination
Still I believe that I must pass through, I
Saw your face from time to time.
And now you're comin' home
Let's see where the night takes us.
Let's see where the night goes.
Only the lonely know the way I'm feelin'
Only the loving go to the graveyard grievin'
Still we're alive and you were standin'
Feel the pulse of the world pound, and
Feel the pull of the American darkness
The mountains, the rivers, the fields in harvest
It's all we have, and that's a lot
Come on, honey, let's get lost
In the long night, old car
backroads and boneyards
Drop the pedal like a holy roller
Sheriff and Hell couldn't pull you over
Tough girl from a bad town
Brought up, never stayed down
Sweet tea, white lightnin'
Breakin' hearts, not mine
Come on in, it's so good to see ya
It's been so long, I know, I know, I
Let's see where the night takes us.
Let's see where the night goes.
Long night, an old car
backroads and boneyards
Drop the pedal like a holy roller
Sheriff and Hell couldn't pull you over
Tough girl from a bad town
Brought up, never stayed down
Sweet tea, white lightnin'
Breakin' hearts, not mine
Come on in, it's so good to see ya
It's been so long, I know, I know, I
Let's see where the night takes us.
Let's see where the night goes.
A long night, an old car
Backroads and boneyards
You were comin' home, she said
Crossed my heart, I could not believe that.
Holy Hell, you could'a struck me dead, but
Three cheers for the grapevine, what
Told me you were comin' home.
Let's see where the night takes us.
Let's see where the night goes.
I admit, it's been slow going
You're payin' bills and still they on ya
Know the way with best-laid plans tell
This is me, and it's who I am. I'm

Meet up with friends and I dream 'bout you

sometimes honey, I still get lost, and those
Long nights, old cars
Backroads and boneyards, you
Drop the pedal like a holy roller
Sheriff and Hell couldn't pull you over
Tough girl from a bad town
Brought up, never stayed down
Sweet tea, white lightnin'
Breakin' hearts, not mine
Come on in, it's so good to see ya
It's been so long, I know, I know, I

Let's see where the night goes.

Let's see where the night takes us.
Let's see where the night goes.
A long night, an old car
Backroads and boneyards
