[Instrumental] [Verse 1] Gonna hitch me a ride in the dead of might and leave You can keep your weekend gamblers and your goddamn delta heat I don't need your empty dreams and miles of angry streets Like that hard-earned money I'm gone Been on the wrong side of the river too long [Verse 2] I've been staring at the lights of Tennessee All my life that golden fire have been staring back at me Calling me across them dark waters dark and deep Calling me saying "Honey, come on" Been on the wrong side of the river too long [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Gonna see that devil fell down from the sky Lost his place in heaven among the angels they're on high Fell into that river, washed up on the side Trying to find himself a new home He's been on the wrong side of the river too long Been on the wrong side of the river too long He's been on the wrong side of the river too long [Hook] Been on the wrong side of the river too long Been on the wrong side of the river too long Been on the wrong side of the river too long Been on the wrong side of the river too long Been on the wrong side of the river Been on the wrong side of the river Been on the wrong side of the river too long
