Riverside - 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
