Lyrics
Born on the river side
While my mother's dragging down
All that I can hear is a dying roar from higher ground
And I can hardly move
And I'm floating out of town
And if I do not reach that shore
Then surely I will drown
Now the son's returning
And I have come of age
The only thing I think about is what they're gonna say
When later in the dark
They're all gonna see
They're all gonna find that river's flowing back to me.
Yeah,well they're all on the floor
I think I'd better run
Well you've got all the cards
But I'm the only one with a gun
Do you not remember me or rember what you've done
I will not forget the past
Just because the mayor of old towns gone
And I'll hold it like a stone
And strap it to my heart
I'm lighting up the sky tonight
So watch those burning stars
watch those burning stars
watch those burning stars
Yeah,well they're all on the floor
I guess I'd better run
Well you've got all the cards
But I'm the only one with a gun
Your dogs are waiting on they're own
I'll get her outside the gate
I'll set her up and strap her to a stone
She'll never live outside again
She'll never live outside again
Yeah,well they're all on the floor
I guess I'd better run
Well you've got all the cards
But I'm the only one with a gun(x2)
