[00:43.05]I came in three days early
[00:44.53]
[00:45.62]To meet my boat
[00:46.89]
[00:48.26]It ain't the life of Riley
[00:49.59]
[00:50.69]But it's keeping me afloat
[00:52.17]
[00:53.35]It's quiet over Christmas
[00:54.80]
[00:55.90]If you got no place to go
[00:57.53]
[00:58.75]I got my home from river rats
[01:00.75]
[01:01.45]The only home I know
[01:03.22]
[01:09.63]I found myself a flophouse
[01:11.04]
[01:12.12]And I hit the streets at nine
[01:13.61]
[01:14.59]Get some grub and drink a beer
[01:16.73]
[01:17.56]Maybe go down the line
[01:18.83]
[01:20.01]These chips will take your money
[01:21.60]
[01:22.80]Shake a young man down
[01:24.35]
[01:25.24]It's the same in every one of these
[01:28.02]Sorry river towns
[01:29.39]
[01:30.80]River towns sorry river towns
[01:34.59]
[01:36.19]River towns
[01:36.75]
[01:41.40]River towns sorry river towns
[01:45.24]
[01:46.62]River towns
[01:47.53]
[02:13.27]Well I picked me up a bottle
[02:14.45]
[02:15.87]To take back to the room
[02:17.19]
[02:18.36]Then I saw a young girl standing
[02:20.40]In a doorway in the gloom
[02:22.54]
[02:23.73]We'd hardly started talking
[02:25.08]
[02:26.33]The old scenario
[02:27.63]
[02:28.58]And I just let her work me over
[02:30.52]
[02:31.67]Down by the Ohio
[02:32.92]
[02:34.54]River towns sorry river towns
[02:38.48]
[02:39.80]River towns
[02:41.00]
[02:45.08]River towns sorry river towns
[02:49.34]
[02:50.80]River towns
[02:51.78]
[03:38.06]When I asked her if she'd like to stay
[03:39.91]
[03:40.61]She was down my stairs so quick
[03:42.35]
[03:43.24]I never asked what got her started
[03:44.86]
[03:45.92]With the sorry river tricks
[03:47.46]
[03:48.56]So I get the bottle open
[03:50.12]
[03:51.10]But something's hit a nerve
[03:52.71]
[03:53.66]And I'm looking in the mirror
[03:55.29]
[03:56.29]At the face that I deserve
[03:58.04]
[03:59.51]River towns sorry river towns
[04:03.38]
[04:04.70]River towns
[04:05.54]
[04:10.00]River towns sorry river towns
[04:14.38]
[04:16.03]River towns
