CHORUS G DTake me down to the river where I can hold your body close to mineC D C DWe can listen to the rhythm of that old water rollinC D GYou can stay with me until the mornin lightI found you in a Louisiana roadside parkBeat up broke down no place left to turnI took you back to Texas under a harvest moonWe found a little place to call our ownWe shared all the hopes and dreams of our younger yearsMarried at the tender age of twenty oneRollin down the highways dirt roads and the by waysYou like to drive so I could go shotgunCHORUSSomewhere through the years somebody turned your headHas taken my sweet love so far from meYeah he swept you of to boulder where the air gets a little bit colderThan this southern man would ever like to seeAnd I think of callin you on my lonely nightsWhen being alone well it gets the best of meYeah but this here whiskey bottle takes me to the placeWhere you and I will always beAWhen you get back home everybody said I was a foolETook you back without a word to sayD E D EBut I couldn't go on livin thinkin about all I was missinD E AAnd I don't give a damn about what those people thinkCHORUS A A E D A E D
