Lyrics
Growin' up, it was tough We were glad for what little we had I saw my
share of old fair,
Mississippi Dirt roads and Confederate
flags Everyday my father would tell me "
Son, run and don't never come back" That's where
I left my girl That's where my heart is at, and oh
I held my breath when they dipped my head Then I came up shiny and
new Found out about love in the back of my Impala Where they laid my
grandfather too Down by the river Where black folks gather After
Sunday service is through How the river runs
to the ocean I'll be runnin' right back to you
I got along, I'm movin' on I bandaged the scars of,
well I think of her,
then I seem to wait For a card or a letter in the mail I walk the
beach with the sand in my feet Place my ear to a shell I wonder if
you miss me too Cause I been longin' to get to you I'm sick of
starin' out my window sill I'm tired of hopin' she remembers me still
I'm packin' my bags,
I said I'm goin' back home To the place where I belong The river And
if she's there when I get there I'm never gonna leave
her again You see, she stole my heart Down by the river
I held my breath when they dipped my head Then I came up shiny and
new Found out about love in the back of my Impala Where they laid my
grandfather too Down by the river Where black folks gather After
Sunday service is through How the river runs
to the ocean I'll be runnin' right back to you
So I'm packin' up my suitcase Bought me a one-way fare I'm leavin'
everything behind me But in my heart I always
care And I'll still be right there Thank you baby '
Cause nothin' can replace that part in my life, and
I held my breath when they dipped my head Then I came up shiny and
new Found out about love in the back of my Impala Where they laid my
grandfather too Down by the river Where black folks gather After
Sunday service is through How the river runs
to the ocean I'll be runnin' right back to you
