Down by the River

(t. b. schmit/b. gaitsch/w. jennings)
Lets go down by the river
Watch the river light
Big old paddle wheeler
Rolling through the southern night
No need in talking you know how i feel
Everytime that im with you, you make it all so real
Moon breaks on the water, everything is right
Lets go down by the river tonight
Lets go down by the river
Watch the ships come in
Everytime im in new orleans
I feel like im in love again
Good band is playing, night is rolling on
Lets get into the music until the night is gone
Love you till youre shining, oh my what a sight
Lets go down by the river tonight
Down in new orleans
You know they let the good times roll on forever
Never say never
Down in new orleans
You know they do it till its all right - tight
Oh my what a night
Ive been out in this big world
Ive done everything
Still nobody does it
Like they do in new orleans
They wake up dancing - dance until they sleep
Living on their feeling - they know life wont keep
Honey bring your new shades - morning comes up bright
When youre down by the river all night
