Riverside Lyrics - Ledbetter Heights - Kenny Wayne Shepherd

Seen her get up, seen her go down 

Down to the riverside 

Seen her jump into the river and drown 

Down to the riverside 

People do just what they will 

Don't matter to the river, it's running still 

Sun come up, sun go down 

Down to the riverside 

Sun jump into the river and drown 

Down to the riverside 

Everyday just like the last 

We sit and watch the water pass 

Came a day they built a bridge 

Down to the riverside 

Over the way, on top of the ridge 

Down to the riverside 

Built a bridge for the people to cross 

But every other day, someone's jumping off 

You might think some boys they got it made 

Down to the riverside 

They got the money and the women and a place in the shade 

Down to the riverside 

That ain't no way to ease the pain 

Can't listen to the river when it calls your name
