Great Big River

Great Big River Gabe Lee I've sung sad songs all my life Honest words turned to lies But If I were keener, then I'd learn to talk with a smileThereby rendering your very heart to melt away I've left women at the door Wonderin what they loved me for Cries out the dreamer, hell if I'm doin this anymoreGuess I just grown tired of trying to get you to seeNothings ever what it used to be Ohio River won't you take me home? Lead me where the sunshine goes every night. Fly me there, take me to a place somewhere, I'm hoping I can hide my fears for once in a while All I can do is hope and pray I'll be a better man someday Great Big River, wash these blues away. So try to hold on all you can Sleepin pills and wedding bands Whatever should come along y'all Whatever shit should hit the fan At least you'll get a better look at all the fun that you had Cause I've known sinners to believe In countin cards and time machines So if you're an angel would you shine your little light over me? I'll be wearing all the clothes that I got Washing dishes in the belly of a restaurant Singin Ohio River won't you take me home? Lead me where the sunshine goes every night. Fly me there, take me to a place somewhere, I'm hoping I can hide my fears for once in awhile All I can do is hope and pray I'll be a better man someday Great Big River, wash these blues. Lord wash them away Great Big River Wash these blues Lord wash them away. Great Big River, wash these blues. Away
