River Road
by Shane Cooley
Another house is sprouting up
Down on River Road
Steadfast progress
Steadily goes
Another double-wide is sliding in
Down on River Road
Still time moves mighty slow
Down on River Road
All the watermen live
Down on River Road
They cast off before the sun comes up
By lunch they’re going home
Via one of two corner stores
Down on River Road
Then they spend their evenings alone
Down on River Road
Another house is sprouting up
Down on River Road
Another baby’s born somebody died
Somebody’s getting old
But time slides like a slow tide
Down on River Road
If you want a place to hide
That’s the place to go
I never thought that I
Would make it back to River Road
My young eyes full of fortune, pride, lights
Big city-wide hope
But I feel a sense of peace
Down on River Road
The spirits have a way
Of calling you home
Another house is sprouting up
Down on River Road
Steadfast progress
Steadily goes
Another double-wide is sliding in
Down on River Road
Still time moves mighty slow
Down on River Road
Still time moves mighty slow
