I want to see you in it,

D G D G

Lights that shine are caustic without you.

Just wanted to keep it alive

We're just threading this needle for life.

A brighter way is what you've proved,

Someday we'll be together

Farther south than the train line.

The Delta mud will be there,

D G D G

We're just livin' this way 'cause we've known no other.

Bm(4x) A G

When we're all passed over,

The rhythm of the river will remain.

G A D

It will, it will remain.

A G

Looking for the right kind,

A G

Live free or die.
