Back To The River
There's blue skies all around meAnd the world looks just the sameIt's hard to be criminalwhen you all know my nameSometimes I wonderSometimes I wanna be freeWell, you can be king of meAnd I'll be the queen
No one listens to meThe words I have to sayThere ain't no doubt about itI'm just trying to get awayI'm going back to the riverWhere no one will find meWe're going back to the riverBack to the sea
When I was just a babyMy mama taught me"Girl, you best believe in JesusIf you'll make it in the world"I'm going back to the riverWhere no one knows my nameI'm going back to the riverBack to the SeineHere we go
There's blue skies all around meAnd the world looks just the sameIt's hard to be criminalWhen they all know your nameSometimes I wonderSometimes I wanna be freeWell, you can be king of meAnd I'll be the queen
No one listens to meThe words I have to sayThere ain't no doubt about itI'm just fading into grayI'm going back to the riverWhere the devil can't find meI'm going back to the riverBack to the sea
