The Matinee - Sweetwater lyrics

sweetwater rolling my old man told me don't give up count your blessings when you fill that cup this dried up town it's only in your way you pay your dues and choose your fights keep on heading for those frisco lights i swear that's where your fortune lies in wait sweetwater rolling, take me back to where it is i am going i can hear the music calling, down the river tonight now my old man he taught me stand your ground the city moves a hundred miles an hour just don't forget to keep your head up high there's nothing wrong with a little pain the driest desert needs a bit of rain now make me proud and stretch those eyes real wide sweetwater rolling, take me back to where it is i am going i can hear the music calling, down the river tonight (x2) i can hear the music calling, down the river tonight
