Bo Phillips Band - Riverbed Lyrics

I was raised at the end of a dirt road, down around Essio
and if you sit right here, I'm gonna make you wanna hear
a little something that you need to know.
You see the preacher man, he took me to the riverbed
talked about going back home.
Then he looked up at the Father and he dipped me in the water,
said, "You're never gonna be alone"

Yeah, we're going down to the riverbed,
going down to save my soul.
And if the Good Lord's willin' and the Creek don't rise
I'll see you at the end of the road.

Well I met a little girl by the riverbed, asked her if she wanna dip a toe.
Well she didn't understand until I took her by the hand
and went jumpin' in the swimmin' hole.
Well I married that girl by the riverbed.
Twenty miles away from a town
and everybody left soon, and we spend our honeymoon
Skinny-dippin' when the sun went down.

Yeah, we're going down to the riverbed,
going down to save my soul.
And if the Good Lord's willin' and the Creek don't rise
I'll see you at the end of the road.

I had to move on away from the riverbed, got to go an make my own
and I don't mind the city, but it sure ain't as pretty
as the pine trees growin' back home.
Every now and again I get homesick, got to go and clear my head.
So I take a little sip and then I make a little trip
and have a party by the riverbed.

Yeah, we're going down to the riverbed,
going down to save my soul.
And if the Good Lord's willin' and the Creek don't rise
I'll see you at the end of the road.
