What I wouldn't give for a river right now
Carry me away so far away from this crowd
Might be out in Colorado, might be down along the coast
Might be small enough to wade across
Or big enough for a boat
A river
What I wouldn't give for a dirt road right now
Just a little ribbon of red clay headed south
Might be back in old Virginia
Could be down in Tennessee
There'd be nothing there to speak of
No nothing there but me and that dirt road
Baby that road would dance right beside that river
And I would take my sweet time walking it alone
No I would not need to think where I was going
Oh no 'cause that river and that red dirt road
Would lead me home
What I wouldn't give for a river right now
What I wouldn't give for a dirt road right now
