The River - Raleigh Ritchie, Chris Loco

I wish we were grown

And old enough to run away

But now I can’t leave home

I need to stay and save my wage

I wish I didn’t live

Miles away and with my mother

I wish we weren’t kids

And maybe we could live with each other

And though I’m out of town

I’m proud you consider

Keeping me around

So I will deliver

I will deliver

Down to the river

I’ll go south of the river

How many rivers?

You know I’ll drown in a river for you, for you

Down to the river

I’ll go south of the river

There’s crowds in a river

Well, fuck it, I’ll drown in a river for you, for you

If you want devotion

You’ve already got it, babe

When I get my promotion

I’ma see you every day

We can get a loan

To buy a powerboat and ride

But now I’m overflowing

Overworked and loathing life

And though I’m out of town

I’m proud you consider

Keeping me around

So I will deliver

I will deliver

Down to the river

I’ll go south of the river

How many rivers?

You know I’ll drown in a river for you, for you

Down to the river

I’ll go south of the river

There’s crowds in a river

Well, fuck it, I’ll drown in a river for you, for you

Down to the river

How many rivers?

For you, for you

(For you, for you, for you, for you)
