My baby waits by the river
He says come on home
When I'm done with my rambling
That's where I'm going
All of the people in the city
Wish they could take it slow
Time stands still in the country
That's where I'm going
Leave a light in the window
I'll find my way by its glow
My heart is there by the river
That's where I'm going
The city will go to your head
Like a hundred dollar gin
You can drink the water in the country
That's where I'm going
That's where I'm going
That's where I'm going
