Oh Louisian', would you let me go?
Carry me from Tennessee to Idaho
The rivers are flowing, they're moving West
Would you wait for me?

I said 'hey!', so what you doin'?
I've had a whole lot of trouble getting movin'
It's okay, I think we'll make it
We'll catch that train

I think I got caught on the riverbed
And I'm sinkin' in, sinkin' in
I think I got caught on the riverbed, yeah
So drink my sin, drink my sin

I don't want no war, I'm a peaceful man
I'll turn and face the [?] to make a stand
I feel that ocean, Pacific and tall
Washin' over me

I said 'hey!', so what you doin'?
I've had a whole lot of trouble getting movin'
It's okay, I think we'll make it
We'll catch that train

Let me tell ya

Spangled banners, and eagles wings
You'll keep me alive
Shake those chains, if I can still be free
Shake those chains to survive
Woo!

I think I got caught on the riverbed
And I'm sinkin' in, sinkin' in
I think I got caught on the riverbed, yeah
So drink my sin, drink my sin

Ho!

Gotta get away
Gotta get away
From everyone
So give a little love
Give a little love
And I'll be gone

So don't swallow me up
Before I can understand
Your pain and your lust
A whole lot like mine

I think I got caught on the riverbed
And I'm sinkin' in, sinkin' in
I think I got caught on the riverbed, yeah
So drink my sin, drink my sin
