Rivers and Creeks Lyrics
All them girls were talking 'bout all their boys walking
With their big chests and prideful mouths
Had a friend in Cincinnati who died with a six-shooter
Taped to the roof of his mouth
'Cause his girl was making love to a man who'll never
Give her what she needs
Like a shark in the middle of the big Pacific
She'll eat anything that fucking bleeds
When it gets cold, your love, it comes and goes
Grows with the vines and the trees
Hate that it grows inside my lungs
Freezes up on the rivers and creeks
When it gets high, you're not around
Go to town to get a different lover
Deep within the shaking, earthquake in California summer
Oh, I pray you'll never find another
Well, I flew across the ocean
Just humbly hoping I would make it to the other side
'Cause them boots of Spanish leather are only worn better
When there's someone wearing down the hide
When there's nowhere to go and nowhere to call home
I hope you swim on back some day
As the sharks eat all the hearts that are fallin' in love in San Francisco Bay
When it gets cold, your love, it comes and goes
Grows with the vines and the trees
Hate that it grows inside my lungs
Freezes up on the rivers and creeks
And when it gets high, you're not around
Go to town to get a different lover
Deep within the shaking, earthquake in California summer
Oh, I pray you'll never find another
Well, love is just a river, yeah, love is just a creek
Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth
Love is just a river, yeah, love is just a creek
Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth
Love is just a river, yeah, love is just a creek
Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth
Love is just a river, love is just a creek
Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white (teeth)
Well, love is just a river, yeah, love is just a creek
Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth
Love is just a river, yeah, love is just a creek
Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth
With their big chests and prideful mouths
Had a friend in Cincinnati who died with a six-shooter
Taped to the roof of his mouth
'Cause his girl was making love to a man who'll never
Give her what she needs
Like a shark in the middle of the big Pacific
She'll eat anything that fucking bleeds
Grows with the vines and the trees
Hate that it grows inside my lungs
Freezes up on the rivers and creeks
When it gets high, you're not around
Go to town to get a different lover
Deep within the shaking, earthquake in California summer
Oh, I pray you'll never find another
Just humbly hoping I would make it to the other side
'Cause them boots of Spanish leather are only worn better
When there's someone wearing down the hide
When there's nowhere to go and nowhere to call home
I hope you swim on back some day
As the sharks eat all the hearts that are fallin' in love in San Francisco Bay
Grows with the vines and the trees
Hate that it grows inside my lungs
Freezes up on the rivers and creeks
And when it gets high, you're not around
Go to town to get a different lover
Deep within the shaking, earthquake in California summer
Oh, I pray you'll never find another
Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth
Love is just a river, yeah, love is just a creek
Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth
Love is just a river, yeah, love is just a creek
Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth
Love is just a river, love is just a creek
Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white (teeth)
Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth
Love is just a river, yeah, love is just a creek
Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth
