Steamboat Lyrics

I woke up on a steamboat,
with power in my hands
I looked out the captains quarters
To see a southern land
Old man river is runnin
To meet his wife the sea
And there ain't nobody stealing
For the currents course is free
Yeah the currents course is free
Steamboat carry me
To my delta home
Steamboat carry me
I've got rivers in my soul
When we finally reach New Orleans
I'm gonna dance with all the ghosts
I'm gonna swim in eerie waters
And drink to every toast
On the bank of the Mississippi
There's a pantsuit preacher man
Sayin come into the water
For the kingdom is at hand
Yeah the kingdom is at hand
Steamboat carry me
To my delta home
Steamboat carry me
I've got rivers in my soul
In the finely layered darkness
In the warmest August night
I skipped along the cobblestone
And danced in all your light
When I came upon a mansion
I climbed up all its stairs
But every mirror that I looked in
I saw God standin there
Yeah I saw God standin there
Steamboat carry me
To my delta home
Steamboat carry me
I've got rivers in my soul
Steamboat carry me
To my delta home
Steamboat carry me
I've got rivers in my soul
I've got rivers in my soul
