I never had no regrets boys not for nothing I've done I owed the devil some debts boys and paid 'em all up but one I don't even regret the living that I'll be leaving behind I've gotten weary of searchin' for something I couldn't find I'm going down to the shades by the river one more time And feel the breeze on my face before I die I'm gonna leave whatever's left of my luck to the losers
And then bend down and kiss the world goodbye [ whistle ] I'm kinda lucky-in-lovin' I never had no complains They never said I was evil but then I wasn't no saint I'm just a river that rolled forever and never get to the sea I ain't blamin' nobody I had it coming to me I'm going down...
