Back to the River Lyrics

E ~~
VRS I
There's blue skies all around me
And the world looks just the same
It's hard to be criminal
when you all know my name
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I wanna be free
Well, you can be king of me
A ~~
And I'll be...
the queen
INTRLU I
(Listen to the song to hear the strumming of this part)
VRS II
Noone listens to me
The words I have to say
There ain't no doubt about it
I'm just trying to get away
I'm going back to the river
Where noone will find me
We're going back to the river
Back to the sea
VRS III
When I was just a baby
My mama taught me "Girl,
you best believe in Jesus if
you'll make it in the world"
I'm going back to the river
Where noone knows my name
I'm going back to the river.. oh
Back to the Seine (Here we go)
(just like verse II & III)
E ~~
INTRLU II
REPEAT VERSE I
REPEAT INTERLUDE I
VRS IV
Noone listens to me
The words I have to say
There ain't no doubt about it
I'm just fading into gray
I'm going back to the river
Where the devil can't find me
I'm going back to the river
Back to the sea
Ends on E
