Hold Back The River Lyrics

Hold Back The River

Stop your pretending Listen to what I've got to say How your head's went away
Only here for a day And that grave I just made Is for me when I get paid  Won't
you wait a while Move to blue Sometimes people don't want to say Old time
dancers don't die that way See that grave I've just made It's for me when I get
paid  Somebody's got to hold back the river Somebody like you  Do you love and
surrender Sometimes I feel like I can remember I think it's fair to mention
About the days when I get paid  Somebody's got to hold back the river Somebody
like you Somebody's got to hold back the river Somebody like you  I want a
little loving I told you all to listen But you never liked what you heard I
take what I am given This may sound absurd I share a double vision Starting the
transition  Hey where's Jimmy Jazz Steady on the scales  I told you to listen I
told you to listen  Somebody's got hold back the river Somebody like you
Somebody's got to hold back the river Somebody like you  You know that somebody
You know that somebody You know that somebody But it ain't you
