Drag This River Lyrics

Drag This River

Quick, burn it down to the wick
Quick, burn it down to the wick
Burn it down to the heart
Burn it down to the heart
So the ending can start
So the ending can start


Here, behind the riverhaus door
Here, behind the riverhaus door
With an unloaded gun
With an unloaded gun
And an unsettled score
And an unsettled score


Well I’ll never drag this river
Well I’ll never drag this river
I’ll never drag this river x2
I’ll never drag this river x2
I’ll never drag this river down
I’ll never drag this river down


You, nothin’ comes to you slow
You, nothin’ comes to you slow
Nothin’ comes to you hard
Nothin’ comes to you hard
Though you beg like you’re hard
Though you beg like you’re hard


And me, don’t shake the barrel ar me
And me, don’t shake the barrel ar me
And don’t treat idle threats
And don’t treat idle threats
Like you treat all your friends
Like you treat all your friends


Well I’ll never drag this river
Well I’ll never drag this river
I’ll never drag this river x2
I’ll never drag this river x2
I’ll never drag this river down
I’ll never drag this river down


And if you walk out that door
And if you walk out that door
Don’t come back
Don’t come back
Because there’ll be no door
Because there’ll be no door


And if you walk out that door
And if you walk out that door
Silence greets you
Silence greets you
Silence, will be yours
Silence, will be yours


I hear ya callin’ from a long distant shore
I hear ya callin’ from a long distant shore
But you won’t come back, [well / ’cause] you can’t come back
But you won’t come back, [well / ’cause] you can’t come back


The water’s risin’ and the levee is not sure
The water’s risin’ and the levee is not sure
And you won’t be found, no you can’t be found
And you won’t be found, no you can’t be found


Drag this river down
Drag this river down
