back to the river

Singer:tedeschi, susan

wake in a cold sweat

nightmare by my bed

waiting for the rider

wondering through my head

cause i'm a long way from home

on the highway too long

got road dust in my mouth

i need to head down south

and get back to the river

back to the river

oh back to the river

back to the river to take my time

so i can think about the little ones

keep them in my heart

born in a bad storm

ain't no good when we're apart

well i'm miss their hugs

and chasing lighting bugs

they make me smile

but its gonna take a little while

to get back to the river

back to the river

oh back to the river

oh back to the river to take my time

theres a full moon rising out tonight

might make be crazy but that all right

long as i find some peace of mine

i'm going back to the river to take my time

where there's a campfire going

warm breezes blowing

mose hanging from the trees

i'll have all that i need

when i get back to the river

oh back to the river

back to the river

oh back to the river

oh back now

oh lord i got'a got'a get back

lord lord back now

back to the river

oh back to the river right now

oh oh
