Sweetwater

sweetwater rolling

my old man told me don't give up
count your blessings when you fill that cup
this dried up town it's only in your way

you pay your dues and choose your fights
keep on heading for those frisco lights
i swear that's where your fortune lies in wait

sweetwater rolling, take me back to where it is i am going
i can hear the music calling, down the river tonight

now my old man he taught me stand your ground
the city moves a hundred miles an hour
just don't forget to keep your head up high
there's nothing wrong with a little pain
the driest desert needs a bit of rain
now make me proud and stretch those eyes real wide

sweetwater rolling, take me back to where it is i am going
i can hear the music calling, down the river tonight (x2)
i can hear the music calling, down the river tonight
