BIG HEARTED RIVER

Riding on the hood of my car
Someone better get out the way
Straight out to the big hearted river
Straight into the water again

You’d better run now
You’re empty handed
You’d better run now
If you can stand it

Headed to the big hearted river
Straight into the big hearted river
Straight into the big hearted river

Hanging on the side of my window
Feeling like a dog in the rain
Straight out to the big hearted river
In the fast water again

You’d better run now
You’re empty handed
You’d better run now
You’d better stand it

Headed to the big hearted river
Straight into the big hearted river
Straight into the big hearted river
Straight into the big hearted river

Deep into the woods of my memory
Someone set my memory aflame
Straight out to the big hearted river
Never gonna come back again

I’d better run now
I’m empty handed
I’d better run now
I can’t stand it
I’d better run now
I’d better run now

Headed to the big hearted river
Headed to the big hearted river
Straight into the big hearted river
Straight into the big hearted river
