Mike Cooper - Trout Steel lyrics

Riverboat captain, they called my name Time to sing my song I didn't know that the song was wrong Don't sing that way again The wind and the trees, there's a pain in my knees Please don't ask me again If I can get across this river I'll always be your friend Friend came into the room there To talk about booze and song He asked me for the number there The one I'd always wronged The wind and the trees, there's a pain in my knees Please don't ask me again If I can get across this river I'll always be your friend The railroad yard was crowded We didn't rail or mine But band [?] found some room to play And follow all the signs The wind and the trees, there's a pain Please don't ask me again If I can get across this river I'll always be your friend
