ALREADY GONE

 
RIVER DON'T RISE

There's a small town divided by the Potomac river
Nights get as crazy as the river is wild
There's a southern exposure to women and wine
I'll be getting my fill if the river don't rise

Chorus-
If the river don't rise, we'll be shuck'n and jiv'n
Better be ready if the river don't rise
If the river don't rise we'll be bump'n and grind'n
Get'n down steady if the river don't rise

The women down there are blue-eyed and crazy
A little bit lazy but that's alright
Smell so sweet make a young boy cry
Sucking on honey if the river don't rise

If the river don't rise, we'll be shuck'n and jiv'n…

Well, I've been around son, I've seen them city women
I've driv'n in limousines, I've seen them city lights
But I kissed the farmer's daughter right there in that spring-time water
Made love in the mountain moonlight
It felt so right

The girls'll sit pretty and the boys'l come runn'n
Think'n bout someth'n buddy ain't lying
Fir'n em up like the 4th of July
Pledgin' allegiance if the river don't rise

If the river don't rise, we'll be shuck'n and jiv'n…
