Rivertown Lyrics

Take me to the river town
Where you can't tell night from day
and everything's forgiven, that did not wash away
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e90775-hayes_carll~rivertown_lyrics.html ]
Where dreamin' comes to easy
and livin's twice as hard
and everything is buried, beneath the water and the stars

Here I am from Corsicana
Wayward on the storm
I been rollin' empty sevens, since the day that I was born
Got no rings upon my fingers, no ink beneath my skin
I'll be as clean goin' out, as I was comin' in

(chorus)

I'm gonna wash my sins in the Angelina River
When all that she can take from me, is all that I can give her
Time will bring you down, and time will make you old
I turned my back some time ago and I am going home

Well I wandered through the pine trees, like an outlaw in the rain
I rambled through big thicket with a pistol and my name
Run away restless angels, don't waste your love on me
Just lay me down in a river town, and home is where I'll be

(chorus)
