[Verse 1] Crossing the river in a big old boat With a dollar bill in my hand Gonna go fishing in the afternoon Got a simple plan Oh yeah, baby [Chorus] I got to hold on I got to be strong I got to live long And be with you [Verse 2] Lonely nights and lonely days When i'm not with you Learned to trust and i learned to give Found a love that's true Oh yeah, baby [Chorus] [Verse 3] Girl it shouldn't be too hard To live with you It's really not complicated Until i get the blues Come on over and sit right down Let me take your hand I got a love gonna fill you up Take you to the promised land Oh yeah, baby, oh yeah [Chorus] [Bridge] Be with you baby Be with you baby I got to be with you babe Be with you baby, oh alright [Verse 4] Lonely nights, lonely days When i'm not with you babe Learned to trust and i learned to give Found a love that's true, babe Oh yeah, baby [Chorus]
