I don't understand I guess I'm kinda like my old man I'm gonna live and die with just my word and my bare hands So tell me where does a broken man go? I'm going down to the river, down to the river That old muddy water's gonna clear my mind Down to the river, down to the river And hope my troubles get to float on by Oh please just float on by When I was young This world was just skippin' stones You could keep what you caught and take it home So tell me where did that world go?
