Down On The River Again Lyrics - Poco

I gotta get down on the river again 

She's a true life giver, she's my only friend 

When I'm hidin' out, I need a way to ride on out 

From all that gunfire up on the land 

Too much for one man to make a stand 

I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man 

Runnin' through the night, runnin' for my life 

Seems it's worth a lot, to a man who's not forgot who I am 

I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man 

I been cheated by a dealer, black hearted man of a soul stealer 

Kept me down in the game, until a voice called my name 

I was holding my own on the losing end 

Here comes the lady, she's a winning hand 

I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man 

Ride that dark lady down, roll on easy to another town 

She's got wild and wistful ways, I'll take her any night or day 

I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man
