Walk Down The River Lyrics - Common Rider

Walk down the river don't stop now keep on walking 

Walk down the river 'till you make it to the bright blue sea 

This is what she said to me whispered in my ear 

A man by the river is a man without fear 

One step forward, two steps back keep stepping 

Put your foot forward 'cause you're on the right track 

Chorus 

Walked two days and the ground got hot 

by the first turn I could hear gunshots 

staggered in the weeds like a fool in the bush 

choked in the dirt and a voice said "push" 

Lost my way five times in the rain 

went three miles for the inches that I gained 

kids threw rocks and the cars slowed down 

people yelled from the window "fool turn around!" 

Chorus 

Buildings leaning over trying to break my back 

Sky wants to simmer and the Earth wants to crack 

let me tell you something, I can hear the sea calling 

so I just move it out like a baby crawling 

Chorus
