On the Riverside
Trapped inside a cold room
The world outside is full a-bloom
My mind slips away for awhile
Memories of the good times
Moonshine in the sunlight
My mind slips away for a while

Boy of the summer
Sun and the water
Ripples underneath my feet
Gravel bar sittin'
Nothin' but livin'
Her laughter always comforts me

Well can't you see?
Well I'm right at home
And I can be
Anything I want
On the riverside

I got a pebble in my pocket
Had love but lost it
And I'll find another girl soon
Crickets will be comin' down
Stars too there's not a doubt
As I slide closer to you
'Cause I feel so alive
Just sittin' by your side
Yeah I feel so alive
When the sun is shinin' bright
Well can't you see?
Well I'm right at home
And I can be
Anything I want
On the riverside

Can't you see?
Well I'm right at home
And I can be
Anything I want
On the riverside

River in Tennessee
Carries all my memories
Even 'til the day that I die
'Cause when I'm old and withered out
My soul will surely figure out
Just where I should rest by and by
