Just Another River Town - Grant-Lee Phillips

Fortunes made and fortunes lost

People played and double-crossed

Some have turned up on the stage

Others in the river wash

If these tavern wall could sing

They’d tell us all so many things

Like just how lonely it can be

Just another river town

Seen it’s share of bad go down

So when that steel guitar rings out

Be grateful you’re on dry ground

This place is just another river town

Broken hearts and broken bones

Shattered dreams and broken homes

I’ve seen enough to know what streets you don’t walk alone

It sure ain’t easy on your own

Just another river town

Seen it’s share of bad go down

So when that steel guitar rings out

Be grateful you’re on dry ground

This place is just another river town

Then I hear the Sunday morning choir

When that church door’s swinging wide

There’s a girl whose voice is bound to reach the sky

And when she smiles there’s redemption in her eyes

Just another river town

Seen it’s share of bad go down

So when that steel guitar rings out

Be grateful you’re on dry ground

This place is just another river town

This place is just another river town

This place is just another river town
