Sunset on the river Down in the old watertown Hear the train whistle blowin' Oh, I'm right there now I was just a young boy Going nowhere soon With a dream and a beat-up six-string You're just howling at the moon Oh, I'm right there now [Chorus:] Rise above the darkness Sail above the clouds Faith keep me from falling And I swear I won't look down Oh, I'm right there now At seventeen, the town was changing Factories were shutting down But we were rock and roll stars To all the watered-down bars And teenage brides in wedding gowns Oh, I'm right there now [Chorus] And way down the wind As I walk the road again Only time is lost I can still remember Driving home in the driving rain Past highway signs and Rock Island lines California dreamin' Oh, I'm right there now [Chorus]
