Fortunes made and fortunes lost People played and double-crossed Some have turned up on the stage Others in the river wash If these tavern wall could sing They'd tell us all so many things Like just how lonely it can be
Just another river town Seen it's share of bad go down So when that steel guitar rings out Be grateful you're on dry ground This place is just another river town
Broken hearts and broken bones Shattered dreams
And broken homes I've seen enough to know what
Streets you don't walk alone It sure ain't easy on your own
Just another river town Seen it's share of bad go down So when that steel
Guitar rings out Be grateful you're
On dry ground This place is just
Another river town
Then I hear the
Sunday morning When that church
Door's swinging wide There's a girl whose voice is bound
To reach the sky And when she smiles there's
Redemption in her eyes
Just another river town Seen it's share of bad go down So when that steel guitar rings out Be grateful you're on dry ground This place is just another river town This place is just another river town This place is just another river
