Chris Knight - Back Water Blues lyrics

Where the hell is sun, just rains for days All this river risin and cryin washin us away If we let go now, we'll let our love drown Baby, this cold blue river, might never go down So put up your bags and get away from the door Put up this rusty pistol baby, I ain't mad anymore If you leave me now and head for higher ground Baby, this river of blue backwater Is gonna take me down Baby, I can't let you go I'll go under if you leave me here alone These backwater blues will be gone If we hold on Baby just left this hard times roll We'll wade outta here when the water is low These backwater blues will be gone If we hold on This river ain't deep, its just a little cold So put your arms around me we'll find us a steppin stone Baby hold on tight, cos dry land's in sign We'll be out of these backwater blues before long If we hold on Baby these backwater blues will be gone If we hold on...
