Gonna Take a Lot of River - The Mick Lloyd Connection
I ain't gonna ride no rail
Or hitchhike down no highway
I ain't going nowhere feeling the way I do
Because my baby's long gone
And nothings going my way
I'm gonna let this muddy water
Wash away my blues
It's gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi
The Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away
I wish I was tug boat pushing
And pulling them barges along
Moving on the water with a heart
Made of iron and steel
There wouldn't be no women that could
Ever take my loving and do me wrong
I could work all day with nothing
In the world to feel
It's gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi
The Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away
Is she in new orleans
Is she a cajun queen
I wonder what she's doing now
But if I know her she's got rings and furs
Struggling along somehow
Gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi
The Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away
Gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi
The Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away
