Lyrics Hayes Carll

Hayes Carll

Rivertown

Take me to a rivertown where you can't tell night from

day

Everythings forgiven that did not wash away

Where dreaming comes too easy, livings twice as hard

And everything is burried, beneath the water and the

stars

Yeah I am from Corsican', wayward on the storm

I've been rolling empty sevens since the day that I was

born

I've got no rings upon my fingers, no ink beneath my

skin

I'll be as clean going out as I was coming in

I'm gonna wash my sins in the Angilina river

When all that she can take from me, is all that I can

give her

And time will bring you down, and time will make you

cold

I've turned my back some time ago, and now I'm going

home

Well I wondered through the pine trees like an outlaw

in the rain

I rambled through big thicket with a pistol and my name

Run away restless angels, don't waste your love on me

Just lay me down in a river town, and home is where

I'll be

Well take me to the rivertown where you can't tell

night from day

Everythings forgiven that did not wash away
