Live River Town Lyrics

River Town Lyrics



And from a tiny river town you came 

With mamma'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 rigged 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 through that slaughterhouse at will 

You were the soldier without a kill 

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 



Oh, who's gonna save your soul? 

Who's gonna make your heart beat again? 

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 mamma's rock-star dreams in tow and daddy's brains 

You'd better turn back before the frost sets in 

These desert nights are for weathered men 

The ones who've already given in 



Oh, who's gonna save your soul? 

Who's gonna make your heart beat again? 

Who's gonna save your soul? 

Now that you've given in 

Now that you've given in 

Now that you've given in
