Ice on the River - Don Dixon

Ice on the river

Every day I’m a worker, digging long holes in the ground

Every night I’m a gambler, I leave my wages in the town

Every day she’s a lady, she’s wearing pearls and silken clothes

Every night she’s a hooker, push-up bra and fishnet hose

Ice on the river, she’s waiting for you

Ice on the river, you’ll never get through

Ice on the river, each step makes a crack

Ice on the river, you’ll never get back, you’ll never get back

Every day I am tempted, I, I don’t think of wrong or right

Every night I walk past her, I don’t play with dynomite

Every day makes a difference, the things will change as people grow

Every night in the forest, the old boughs break as new winds blow

Ice on the river, she’s waiting for you

Ice on the river, you’ll never get through

Ice on the river, each step makes a crack

Ice on the river, you’ll never get back

Ice on the river, she’s waiting for you

Ice on the river, you’ll never get through

Ice on the river, each step makes a crack (Crack)

Ice on the river, ice on the river, never get back

Ice on the river, don’t know she’s waiting for you

Ice on the river, you’ll never get back

Ice on the river, each step makes a crack

Ice on the river, ice on the river, you’ll never get back

Ice on the river, she’s waiting for

Ice on the river, you’ll never get back

Ice on the river, ice on the river, each step makes a crack

Ice on the river, ice on the river, well you’ll never get back

Ice on the river, she’s got, waiting for you

Ice on the river, you’ll never get through

Ice on the river, ice on, each step makes a crack

Ice on the river, ice on the river, you’ll never get back

Ice on the river
