Rivertown Lyrics - Little Rock - Hayes Carll

Take me to a rivertown where you can't tell night from day 

Everythings forgiven that did not wash away 

Where dreaming comes too easy, livings twice as hard 

And everything is burried, beneath the water and the stars 

Yeah I am from Corsican', wayward on the storm 

I've been rolling empty sevens since the day that I was born 

I've got no rings upon my fingers, no ink beneath my skin 

I'll be as clean going out as I was coming in 

CHORUS 

I'm gonna wash my sins in the Angilina river 

When all that she can take from me, is all that I can give her 

And time will bring you down, and time will make you cold 

I've turned my back some time ago, and now I'm going home 

Well I wondered through the pine trees like an outlaw in the rain 

I rambled through big thicket with a pistol and my name 

Run away restless angels, don't waste your love on me 

Just lay me down in a river town, and home is where I'll be 

CHORUS 

Well take me to the rivertown where you can't tell night from day 

Everythings forgiven that did not wash away
