Back To The River lyrics

There's blue skies all around me And the world looks just the same It's hard to be criminal when you all know my name Sometimes I wonder, sometimes I wanna be free Well, you can be king of me and I'll be the queen No one listens to me, the words I have to say There ain't no doubt about it, I'm just trying to get away I'm going back to the river where no one will find me We're going back to the river, back to the sea When I was just a baby, my mama taught me Girl, you best believe in Jesus if you'll make it in the world I'm going back to the river where no one knows my name We are going back to the river, back to the Seine Here we go There's blue skies all around me And the world looks just the same It's hard to be criminal when they all know my name Sometimes I wonder, sometimes I wanna be free Well, you can be king of me And I'll be the queen No one listens to me, the words I have to say There ain't no doubt about it, I'm just fading into gray I'm going back to the river where the devil can't find me I'm going back to the river, back to the sea
