lyrics
Gotta girl in Louisiana, gotta daughter in Tennessee
Everything in this world seems to get the best of me
Left my Paw in Tuscaloosa, he died down by the tracks
He only wanted the best things in life, but God seemed to take 'em back.
So take me down to the river, take me down there by the bank
Just tell me who's in charge so I'll know who to thank
Take me down to the river, or lay me down by the lake
Lemme go clear my mind don't know how long it'll take
I's born with this guitar in my hand, been told it won't take me far
Don't care what y'all got to say, I'm gonna keep on playin' these bars
Heard Muscle Shoals has got the swampers, but I don't give a damn
They don't know nothin' 'bout this boy from a just west of Birmingham
So take me down to the river, take me down there by the bank
Just tell me who's in charge so I'll know who to thank
Take me down to the river, or lay me down by the lake
Lemme go clear my mind don't know how long it'll take
So take me down to the river, let me lay down by the bank
Just tell me who's in charge so I'll know who to thank
Everything in this world seems to get the best of me
Left my Paw in Tuscaloosa, he died down by the tracks
He only wanted the best things in life, but God seemed to take 'em back.
So take me down to the river, take me down there by the bank
Just tell me who's in charge so I'll know who to thank
Take me down to the river, or lay me down by the lake
Lemme go clear my mind don't know how long it'll take
I's born with this guitar in my hand, been told it won't take me far
Don't care what y'all got to say, I'm gonna keep on playin' these bars
Heard Muscle Shoals has got the swampers, but I don't give a damn
They don't know nothin' 'bout this boy from a just west of Birmingham
So take me down to the river, take me down there by the bank
Just tell me who's in charge so I'll know who to thank
Take me down to the river, or lay me down by the lake
Lemme go clear my mind don't know how long it'll take
So take me down to the river, let me lay down by the bank
Just tell me who's in charge so I'll know who to thank
