The River

I wish we were grown
And old enough to run away
But now I can’t leave home
I need to stay and save my wage
I wish I didn’t live
Miles away and with my mother
I wish we weren’t kids
And maybe we could live with each other
And though I’m out of town
I’m proud you consider
Keeping me around
So I will deliver
I will deliver
Down to the river
I’ll go south of the river
How many rivers?
You know I’ll drown in a river for you, for you
Down to the river
I’ll go south of the river
There’s crowds in a river
Well, fuck it, I’ll drown in a river for you, for you
If you want devotion
You’ve already got it, babe
When I get my promotion
I’ma see you every day
We can get a loan
To buy a powerboat and ride
But now I’m overflowing
Overworked and loathing life
And though I’m out of town
I’m proud you consider
Keeping me around
So I will deliver
I will deliver
Down to the river
I’ll go south of the river
How many rivers?
You know I’ll drown in a river for you, for you
Down to the river
I’ll go south of the river
There’s crowds in a river
Well, fuck it, I’ll drown in a river for you, for you
Down to the river
How many rivers?
For you, for you
(For you, for you, for you, for you)
