The River Lyrics
Had an angel by my side
And the angel had to fly
Took the devil for a ride, for a ride
Put a pistol in my hand
And he whispered me a plan
Go ahead boy be a man, be a man
I don't know
Send me on down the river
I don't know
Take me to a better place (yeah)
I don't know
Tell me how I can forgive her
I don't know
Show me a better way
But I tried to make it through
Do the best that I can do
But I think I'm born to lose, born to lose
Everybody gets a turn
To love and live and learn
Watch the fire burn, just let it burn
I don't know
Send me on down the river
I don't know
Take me to a better place (yeah)
I don't know
Tell me how I can forgive her
I don't know
Show me a better way
(guitar solo)
I don't know
Send me on down the river
I don't know
Take me to a better place (yeah hey hey hey!)
I don't know
Tell me how I can forgive her
I don't know
Show me a better way
(outro guitar solo)
And the angel had to fly
Took the devil for a ride, for a ride
And he whispered me a plan
Go ahead boy be a man, be a man
Send me on down the river
I don't know
Take me to a better place (yeah)
I don't know
Tell me how I can forgive her
I don't know
Show me a better way
Do the best that I can do
But I think I'm born to lose, born to lose
To love and live and learn
Watch the fire burn, just let it burn
Send me on down the river
I don't know
Take me to a better place (yeah)
I don't know
Tell me how I can forgive her
I don't know
Show me a better way
Send me on down the river
I don't know
Take me to a better place (yeah hey hey hey!)
I don't know
Tell me how I can forgive her
I don't know
Show me a better way
