Wake in a cold sweat
Nightmare by my bed
Waiting for the rider
Wondering through my head
Cause Im a long way from home
On the highway too long
Got road dust in my mouth
I need to head down south
And get back to the river
Back to the river
Oh back to the river
Back to the river to take my time
So I can think about the little ones
Keep them in my heart
Born in a bad storm
An't no good when we're apart
Well im miss their hugs
And chasing lighting bugs
They make me smile,but its gonna take a little while
To get back to the river
Back to the river
Oh back to the river
Oh back to the river to take my time
Theres a full moon rising out tonight
Might make be crazy but that all right
Long as i find som peace of mine
Im going back to the river to take my time
Where there's a campfire going
Warm breezes blowing
Mose hanging from the trees
I'll have all that i need
When i get back to the river
Oh back to the river
Back to the river
Oh back to the river
Oh back now
Oh lord i got'a got'a get back
Lord lord back now
Back to the river
Oh back to the river right now
Oh oh
