Sweetwater Lyrics - Singles - The Matinee

sweetwater rolling 

my old man told me don't give up 

count your blessings when you fill that cup 

this dried up town it's only in your way 

you pay your dues and choose your fights 

keep on heading for those frisco lights 

i swear that's where your fortune lies in wait 

sweetwater rolling, take me back to where it is i am going 

i can hear the music calling, down the river tonight 

now my old man he taught me stand your ground 

the city moves a hundred miles an hour 

just don't forget to keep your head up high 

there's nothing wrong with a little pain 

the driest desert needs a bit of rain 

now make me proud and stretch those eyes real wide 

sweetwater rolling, take me back to where it is i am going 

i can hear the music calling, down the river tonight (x2) 

i can hear the music calling, down the river tonight
