Letra de The River Road

Every year about this time I think of leaving But every year about this time I never go I'm the only one I am deceiving This town sinks its teeth in deep and it don't let go Folks 'round here they've given up on salvation They'll settle for whatever's second best High hopes turn into lowered expectations Me, I'm no different I guess CHORUS Sometimes I walk the river road And wonder just where the river flows I don't guess I'll find the strength to go 'Cause I'm rooted down in this one-horse town It's the closest thing to home I've ever known Like a ghost town never quite abandoned Haunted by a host of broken dreams The first November snow will leave you stranded 'Till the days turn into months, then into years Sometimes I walk the river road And wonder what's beneath the undertow (CHORUS) Every year about this time I get that feeling I don't recognize my own face in the mirror The only thing my reflection is revealing Is the boy who dreamed so high has disappeared So tomorrow I'll go fishing on the river On the ice that won't be melted until June Couple cans of Bud and a TV dinner Settle down for another year or two (CHORUS) Sometimes I walk the river road And wonder just where the river rolls I don't guess I'll find the strength to go 'Cause I'm rooted down in this one-horse town
