Riverside - Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band

Seen her get up, seen her go down

Down to the riverside

Seen her jump into the river and drown

Down to the riverside

People do just what they will

Don’t matter to the river, it’s running still

Sun come up, sun go down

Down to the riverside

Sun jump into the river and drown

Down to the riverside

Every day just like the last

We sit and watch the water pass

Came a day the built a bridge

Down to the riverside

Over the way, on top of the ridge

Down to the riverside

Built a bridge for people to cross

But every other day, someone jumping off

You might think some boys they got it made

Down to the riverside

They got the money and the women and a place in the shade

Down to the riverside

That ain’t no way to ease the pain

Can’t listen to the river when it calls your name
