Lyrics

Big bad fields full of cotton and grass
I came here in 04, straight to the farm we go
Rise before the sun, work til dark comes
Shoulda been here in 05, swinging my axe yeah it caught fire

I wonder about her well she don't write
Well the river is wide, I dream across

Well I been here 70 years
I'm getting to old to shift my gears
Well I can run along, run so hard to the river alone
Shot just like a gun, rivers not far it's time to run

Well the river is so wide, I dream across
I"m going oh down to swim across
Yeah I'm going down oh to swim across

Making my move, no one around
No one around, no one in sight
what your looking for is hard to see
Cause rolling stones don't look like me
Still I run, run so long, run away
Where the river does

Well the river is wide, I dream across
I"m going oh down to swim across
Yeah I'm going down oh to swim across
