Black river blues My cheatin' heart's been torn in two I'd love to stay with you awhile But I've got to burn one thousand black river miles Before I sleep, before I rest ‘Cause I've got two loves burnin' holes inside my chest And it's something you know I gotta do Before I lay me down to sleep here beside you When I get home… When I get home… When I get home… There's a two-lane highway in my mind My heart's divided by white lines So what am I supposed to do When the lane I love is the lane takes me further from you? And that black river's callin' my name And if I don't go I know I'll go insane And I'll walk a thousand miles in these worn out shoes And then I'll lay me down to sleep here beside you When I get home… When I get home… When I get home…
