Slow train on the trestle passin' overhead
Cold campfire and an army blanket where i last laid my head
I got tobacco and i got bread to get me to morgantown
Gotta put a little distance between us but i think i'm losin' groundDown by the river so green it's blue
Down by the river i'm sure missin' youWell my eyes closed you turned cold and i couldn't make you stay
The more i tried to hold on the more you turned away
Guess i coulda done better than fish and drink and mine
Tell me how things get tougher all i know is tough times
Down by the river so green it's blue
Down by the river i'm sure missin' youI ran into your daddy he's out runnin' his line
Gave me a beer in a blue can said i oughta come visit sometime
Rain ceows cottonmouth catfish and cane
Your name is on my every breath your blood is in my veins
Down by the river so green it's blue
Down by the river i'm sure missin' youDown by the river so green it's blue
Down by the river i'm sure missin' you
