Slow Boat Lyrics - Jeff Bridges - Jeff Bridges

The river is wide 

Deeper than deep 

On one side they're cryin' 

on the other they're asleep 

And it's all a dream 

Least it seems like to me 

Might never wake up 

Listen to the steam 

As the big wheel turns 

Are we headed up stream? 

The fog's too thick 

To really see 

All I know is I still float 

Slow boat 

Slow boat 

I got my coat 

I brought my chaps 

In case we land 

I'm gonna need 'em for that 

'Cause there might he a horse 

I might need to ride 

Carry your message 

Carry the flag 

To where we're goin' 

Or am I goin' alone 

Are you there 

Pick up the phone 

I can't make out what you wrote 

Slow boat 

Slow boat 

All I know is I still float 

All I know ... 

... I don't know
