The Des Plaines River lyrics

Save me I’ve been so lonely You were the only one in my mind An’ lately I’ve just been drinking Smoking and thinking a million reason why Cause out across my street I don’t see no one No faith to go on, and the devil’s in my dreams But flying through the night I can still feel you It did not feel true when you said goodbye An’ take me to The Des Plaines river and drown me The dirty water all around me, a prisoner in the mud I’m sailing to you my highway sweetheart I’m dead under these deep stars And you come to lift me up And I’ve been face down, just like a dead man Drinking that red sand, like sweet country wine And down, down, down, I’ve been sinking I’ve been thinking about losing my mind Cause out across my street I don’t see no one No faith to go on, no sun in my sky So, take me my prairie angel An’ bring me all the way back to my home An’ take me to The Des Plaines river and drown me The dirty water all around me, a prisoner in the mud I’m sailing to you my highway sweetheart I’m dead under these deep stars And you come to lift me up An’ take me to The Des Plaines river and drown me The dirty water all around me, a prisoner in the mud I’m sailing to you my highway sweetheart I’m dead under these deep stars And you come to lift me up
