| [00:20.56] | Growing up it was tough |
| [00:22.68] | We were glad for what little we had |
| [00:25.87] | I saw my share of old fair Mississippi |
| [00:29.36] | Dirt roads and Confederate flags |
| [00:31.10] | |
| [00:31.61] | Everyday my father would tell me |
| [00:34.61] | ＂Son run and don’t never come back＂ |
| [00:38.66] | That’s where I left my girl |
| [00:40.72] | That’s where my heart is at and oh |
| [00:44.02] | I held my breath when they dipped my head |
| [00:47.20] | Then I came up shiny and new |
| [00:49.28] | Found out about love in the back of my Impala |
| [00:53.14] | Where they laid my grandfather too |
| [00:56.07] | Down by the river |
| [00:57.84] | Where black folks gather |
| [00:59.64] | After Sunday service is through |
| [01:01.20] | |
| [01:01.95] | How the river runs to the ocean |
| [01:05.07] | I’ll be running right back to you |
| [01:08.25] | I got along I’m moving on |
| [01:11.37] | I bandaged the scars up well |
| [01:14.55] | I think of her then I seem to wait |
| [01:17.49] | For a card or a letter in the mail |
| [01:21.05] | I walk the beach with the sand in my feet |
| [01:23.78] | Place my ear to a shell |
| [01:26.16] | I wonder if you miss me too |
| [01:29.28] | Cuz I been longing to get to you |
| [01:32.47] | I’m sick of staring out my window sill |
| [01:36.84] | I’m tired of hoping she remembers me still |
| [01:39.39] | I’m packing my bags I said I’m going back home |
| [01:43.32] | To the place where I belong |
| [01:45.01] | The river |
| [01:45.70] | |
| [01:46.45] | And if she’s there when I get there |
| [01:48.82] | I’m never gonna leave her again |
| [01:51.12] | You see she stole my heart |
| [01:54.06] | |
| [01:54.75] | Down by the river |
| [01:56.01] | |
| [02:22.71] | So I’m packing up my suitcase |
| [02:25.71] | Bought me a one-way fare |
| [02:28.71] | I’m leaving everything behind me |
| [02:31.27] | But in my heart I always care |
| [02:33.82] | And I’ll still be right there |
| [02:38.38] | |
| [02:39.00] | Thank you baby |
| [02:40.43] | Cuz nothing can replace that part in my life and whoa |
| [02:45.18] | |
| [02:45.79] | I held my breath when they dipped my head |
| [02:48.61] | Then I came up shiny and new |
| [02:51.92] | Found out about love in the back of my Impala |
| [02:54.91] | Where they laid my grandfather too |
| [02:56.91] | |
| [02:57.47] | Down by the river |
| [02:59.34] | |
| [02:59.90] | Where black folks gather |
| [03:02.27] | After Sunday service is through |
| [03:03.77] | How the river runs to the ocean |
| [03:06.26] | I'll be running right back to you |
