River Town Lyrics

And from a tiny River Town you came
With Momma's rock star dreams in tow
And Daddy's brains
But the rats they fought you, oh yeah
Tooth and nail
With the way they rig this game, you had to fail
But that's all behind you now boy
And from a tiny River Town you came
With nothing up your sleeve but a dirty forearm and an ace
They drug you throught that slaughterhouse at will
You were the soldier without a kill
oh, who's gonna save your soul?
Who's gonna make your heart beat again?
And from a tiny River Town you came
Across the Rocky Mountains all in search of better days
But paradise took you out and left the bill
You were the healer without the thrill
You were the ecstasy without the pill
Who's gonna light up your dark?
Who's gonna save your soul?
Who's gonna be there?
Who's gonna light up your dark?
And from a tiny River Town you came
With Momma's rockstar dreams in tow
And Daddy's brains
You'd better turn back before the frost sets in
These desert night are for weathered men
The ones who've already given in
