Nickajack Lyrics - Singles - River Road

(Steve Bogard/Steve Curnutte/Matt Maher) 

It was a hot June morning on the intersate 

She was flaggin' me down, I was 20 mintues late 

She was broke down, north bound, Georgia line 

I pulled on the shoulder and offered her a ride 

With just one look, it was heart and soul 

We were like a river runnin' out of control 

When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam 

Up come the water over Nickajack land 

Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow 

Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go 

When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break 

Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake 

We spent a week together in the next two nights 

It was a barn burnin', nothin' ever felt so right 

Before we both knew it we were makin' some plans 

Seein' rings on our fingers, on both of our hands 

Daddy said I was crazy, mommas both cried 

But you gotta tell the world when you feel it inside 

When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam 

Up come the water over Nickajack land 

Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow 

Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go 

When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break 

Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake 

Now we got a cabin with a window veiw 

Of the water and the woods and the ol' dam too 

We got a lay away cradle her jeans are gettin' tight 

I guess lovin' makes livin', and livin' makes life 

I know how it is now's the way it should 

Cause I look outside, and what do I see 

When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam 

Up come the water over Nickajack land 

Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow 

Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go 

When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break 

Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake 

When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam 

Up come the water over Nickajack land 

Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow 

Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go 

When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break 

Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake
